My wife and I like to play games together, but PC devs often skip couch co-op options. For example, I bought Halo Master Chief Collection because I know Halo co-op is legendary and I never really played Halo growing up, nor did she. But the PC version specifically doesn’t have split screen co-op where the console version does.

We already own and play Stardew Valley, Outward (fantastic game if you aren’t aware), and Civ 5 (we prefer it over 6).

So what other options have you enjoyed that I may have missed?

    There’s a mod that allows borderlands 2 to be split screen

      I thought it was natively split screen? I remember I had to mod BL3 to be split screen though

      Interesting, I’ve actually never played any borderlands. Is 2 fine to start from? Is that mod very taxing on the PC in question? I’m squeezing every ounce of power I can out of an old dell gaming laptop with a 960M, so I could see maybe struggling if it’s like the hacky way you can do that with Halo MCC where it basically runs the exe 2 entire times.

        Any of the Borderlands games are fine to start from. The stories are mostly self contained, and the parts that aren’t are explained in the opening cutscenes.

        A 960m will probably run Borderlands 2 but definitely not with the splitscreen mod.

          I know I could run the game, I’m making RDR2 work somehow. Split screen sounded likely taxing though

        I believe it is the same mod/framework as the halo MCC split screen so you might have a bas time.

      I tried playing the switch splitscreen version and it kind of hurt, and I love BL2. I might buy it for my SO on PC just so we can have a better play experience.
