Nintendo Switch is home to some of the best games of all time — single-player or multiplayer. Unlike its competition with the best PS5 games and best Xbox Series X games, the Switch hasn’t moved away from the classic couch co-op style of games we all grew up with. That isn’t to say there aren’t online co-op and cross-platform games as well, but you do have a lot more options on the Switch than other systems. As we approach the end of the Switch’s lifecycle and prepare for the Switch 2, now is the best time to check out the massive library of co-op games to make the wait a little easier.
