![]() ![]() ![]() If a game is turn-based, it may allow hotseat mode, which allows players to take turns passing the same controller around. Local multiplayer games are either shared-screen or split-screen: Street Fighter is an example of a shared-screen game, while It Takes Two is an example of a split-screen game (mostly), although It Takes Two does occasionally transition to a shared-screen view during certain parts of the game. Some games feature both co-op and PvP (even It Takes Two has some PvP mini-games).ĭefining Shared-Screen, Split-Screen, and Hotseat Mode PvP stands for Player versus Player, and has players competing against each other, like in Street Fighter. Co-op stands for Cooperative, and has players working together to achieve a common goal, like in It Takes Two. Local multiplayer is an umbrella term referring to both co-op games and PvP games. In the context of this post, local multiplayer refers to games that support multiple players on one console: some other definitions include couch multiplayer or same-system multiplayer. This is a compilation of a series of four posts I made divided into quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) throughout 2021 – this post combines and modifies parts of the write-ups of those previous posts, while adding 20+ new write-ups on games that weren’t featured on the original lists (plus a few on the omitted list).ĭefining Local Multiplayer, Co-op, and PvP I also listed games from the same series together that were released on the PS4/PS5 in the same year, like the Cotton games and Darius games – technically separate purchases for each of their entries, but it just made sense to combine them. ![]() Compilations of old games, like the Deathsmiles I + II pack, are also only characterized as “one game” in the context of this list. This also includes games that released on the PS4/PS5 before 2021 that were updated to add local multiplayer support for the first time, but the only games on the list that meet this criterion are Stardew Valley and The Binding of Isaac: Repentance (paid DLC), and A Hat in Time on the Omitted List (more on that later). This is a list of 101 local multiplayer games/updates released on the PlayStation 4/5 in 2021 – this includes ports from other platforms that released on the PS4/PS5 ecosystem for the first time in 2021, including games from well before the 2010s. ![]()
