17 Cozy Couch Co-op’s on Nintendo Switch in 2025

The Nintendo Switch is packed with games made for two (or more) people sharing a screen and maybe a bowl of popcorn. Whether you’re teaming up to run a chaotic kitchen, build a tiny town, or just vibe through a pastel-coloured puzzle world, these couch co-ops on Switch bring the cozy and the chaos.

Some of my favourite gaming memories aren’t solo. They’re the evenings I spend curled up on the sofa with my husband, both of us holding Joy-Cons, shouting “More steaks!” or “Why did you hit me?”… the neighbours are probably secretly worried about us.

I’ll flop on the couch after work with snacks, and he’ll scroll through the eShop or YouTube for hours trying to find a new game we can both enjoy. I don’t say it often enough, but that’s one of the many reasons I love him. He always wants us to play a game together.

There’s just something extra special about playing side by side. You get all the fun of working together (or against each other) and you get to laugh, nudge, and celebrate in real time. No headsets, no lag, no weird disconnect from a screenful of usernames. Just shared snacks, shared wins, and probably a cat trying to sit on your lap at the worst possible moment.

What is local couch co-op anyway?

Multiplayer, online co-op, couch co-op—if you’re new to all this, it can be a bit confusing. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Multiplayer = Any game where more than one person can play, either competitively or cooperatively. This includes couch co-op, online, or both.
  • Online Co-op = You play with other people over the internet. Each person needs their own console and a stable connection (and usually a Nintendo Switch Online subscription).
  • Couch Co-op = You’re sharing the same screen, in the same room, often with one Switch and two controllers. No internet needed most of the time, just good company.

If you’re anything like me and prefer gaming with family and friends, couch co-ops on Switch are where it’s at. Below you’ll find my top picks whether you want to farm, cook, puzzle, or just cause a bit of harmless chaos with someone you adore.
