Check co-op player count before your squad buys

Headcount before hype

A squad of four needs a game that supports four in one co-op lobby. Not a strict two-player story title. Match the list to tonight's headcount; do not invent parallel lobbies to stretch a smaller-cap game.

Check the player count on the store page or a trusted reference before someone buys for the group.

Common squad sizes

• Duo: verify 2-player co-op or shared PvE - see two-player picks.
• Three: many survival sandboxes work; strict 2P games do not - see three-player picks.
• Four: check lobby cap - some "co-op" tags mean 2 online. Start from four-player co-op.
• Five-plus: party games, sandbox servers, or activities with a documented cap of five or higher - see PC games for five players.

After someone buys

Sync libraries before you assume the new title is in overlap. Shared games only counts owned copies. Browse co-op picks by player count once headcount is fixed. Prefer genre? Browse PC co-op by genre.
