Best Local Multiplayer Games on PS5

Best PS5 Local Multiplayer Games PlayStation 5 1

What are the best local multiplayer games on PS5? Video games have always had multiplayer, and playing them together with pals is some of the most fun you can have. There are so many great examples on PS5, and we need your help to find the best local multiplayer on the platform.

As mentioned, local multiplayer is as old as games themselves, and the ability to play together in the same room remains a staple despite the arrival of online play. On PS5, there are hundreds of games featuring local multiplayer options, and thus the variety of experiences is off the charts.

Fans of various sports are well catered for, with games like FIFA 22, Madden NFL 22, NBA 2K22, and other annual franchises offering local multiplayer. Similarly, if you enjoy a bit of racing, you can go split-screen with titles such as DIRT 5, Hot Wheels Unleashed, and WRC 10.

However, there’s more to local multiplayer than sports and cars. It Takes Two, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Borderlands 3, and many more games offer excellent experiences for more than one player, and of course there are fighting games like Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate for when things get serious.

PS5 is a great place for fans of local multiplayer games, then, but which ones are the best? Well, that’s where you come in. Below is our list of the best local multiplayer games on PS5, and it’s entirely determined by our community. This list is ranked and rated solely by you lot, based entirely on your user scores for each game.

If you disagree with the order, or think a deserving game is missing, it’s down to you to change things. Below is a search bar where you can type in any PS5 game with support for more than one player, and then award those games a rating from 1 to 10. Alternatively, you can click the star on any game’s page to do the same and make yourself heard. These ratings are fed into this list, so have your say and watch it change over time!

Any game will need at least 20 ratings before it appears on this page. If there’s a game you feel is missing from this list, it’s possible the title just hasn’t been rated enough times, so make sure you cast your votes.
