I’m looking for some fun PC games I can play with my wife/nephews. I’m therefore looking for PC games that support split screen with controller support. Any genre, but preferably games that can be played by someone no older than 12. Will be playing them on a ROG Ally connected to a TV with xbox controllers. Interested in any genre.

It Takes Two was an absolute blast with my wife
Anyone have any idea how well the game works on a Steam Deck? Would love to play it docked to my TV but I’ve heard EA’s launcher causes some problems on the SD.
We played it on Nintendo Switch, a far weaker device, at stable 30fps (slightly worse resolution than screen size but not too bad after you get used to it). Barring weird EA stuff should work great on steam deck
Yeah I figured that would be fine, just worried about the EA stuff.
Screencheat if you want a game to “pick up and play”. It’s a shooter with different modes where everyone is invisible and you must look at the other players split screen to deduce where they are and shoot them. It’s really fun to play!
That sounds like it would drive my wife crazy 🤣
Party Animals “should” be finally coming out this September. Buddies and I had a blast when it was in open beta. Similar idea to Gang Beasts.
Another fun one is Human Fall Flat which has some quirky controls.
I really like PlateUp. It’s like a better overcooked where you get to design and upgrade your kitchen/restaurant as you go.
I think Rocket League supports split screen. It’s really fun for all ages too.
Ultimate Chicken Horse needs to be on this list. It’s a competitive platformer where before each round, everyone adds a piece to the level. You need to make it hard enough that someone doesn’t finish, but easy enough that you finish. If everyone finishes, no one gets points.
Very fun, possibly my favorite couch game.
Ultimate Chicken Horse is a really fun party game!
Same-screen, but: PlateUp!
My SO and I love playing outward! Great co op rpg
Boomerangfu isn’t splitscreen, it’s one screen, but it’s still local multiplayer with controller support
Yeah, specifying split screen was probably a mistake. I meant local multiplayer :).
Children of Morta is great for coop, it’s a hack and slash game so anyone can play it really.
My partner and I are huge fans of Boomerang Fu, and have enjoyed it with a couple of friends too - it’s not same-screen local co-op so hope that still works. Very easy to pick up, and lots of fun!
Double dragon and battle toads are pretty fun
Castle Crashers or BattleBlock Theatre are worth looking into
Rayman Legends is tons of fun and very good platformer anyone can play.
Overcooked 2 is one of the best couch co-op games ever, but note that it can be very hectic and kinds difficult.
Sonic & All-Stars: Racing Transformed might be the best Karting game out there. Despite being kinda old at this point, it holds up wonderfully.
You can’t really go wrong with any of these choices!
I’d second Sonic and All Stars. Definitely a solid racing game if you are looking for something akin to the Mario Kart games.
