Mario Kart. Absolute GOAT of splitscreen.
Yep. Mariokart can just get fired up anytime when I’m chilling with an old friend.
Borderlands series is pretty fun split screen!

We play it once every 3 years with my brother remembering the fun mechanic, then we remember it’s pissing us both and stop to still keep a positive relationship
My fiance and I enjoy playing Mario Golf and Mario Kart on the Switch and Borderlands on PS5 together.
Usually my group falls back on the Jackbox party games, like Quiplash. The best is when my group develops running jokes.
“What should you not use to paint a wall?” “A chainsaw”
“The least likely weapon to be used in self defense” “A chainsaw covered in paint”
Those games are HYSTERICAL with the right crowd. I wish I could play them more but I think they’re most fun with a few more people than I usually can drag into it.
- Halo
- It Takes Two
Goddamn these two games are so well crafted and awesome. Halo is a classic fps with every aspect of gameplay gelling really well with me. It Takes Two is a unique with some revolutionary gameplay mechanics. Some of my favourite games of all time
A Way Out is not the best game ever, but it’s the right length for my bother and I to do it in one single evening. Which made the ending pretty good for us after a few hours of continuous gameplay and pizzas
MX Unleashed and the early MX vs ATV games (Unleashed and Untamed).
Its an offroad racing series focused on dirt bikes. There’s something fun about ripping the throttle open on a gigantic map and exploring the area. The freestyle tricks were awesome and they even had golf carts you could drive.
I’ve been into hosting party games on TV with the Steam Deck, so we’ve been doing a lot of
- Stick Fight The Game
- Rivals of Aether
- Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time
- Jackbox
- Broforce
- Scott Pilgrim vs the World
I know they’re not exactly split screen, but great games for multiple players
Perfect Dark. So much better than Goldeneye. My brother and I played hundreds of hours of multiplayer when we were young.
Customizable bots, awesome weapons with secondary functions, great maps, a great campaign - everything about Perfect Dark was amazing, and it will always be my favorite split screen game.
Goldeneye, god that was great on Nintendo 64
It Takes Two, Unravel 2, Divinity: Original Sin, Divinity: Original Sin 2. They’re the only split screen games I’ve played to be perfectly honest but they’re all fantastic.
We had a lot of fun with Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (also known as “Gotta Save the Space Bunnies”) which is not split but local co-op on a shared screen.
Helldivers is probably the one I’ve spent a fair chunk of my life to. Excited for the second one thats coming out soon, though they do seem to be taking a different approach going from top-down shared twin stick to 3d so I’m curious how that will affect things
not necessarily split screen, but local multiplayer, I had a ton of fun playing Crawl with roommates. Duck Game is also a top tier laugh too.
