See the one screen list104 games that are not what the lists say
Honkai: Star Rail has no co-op. Vampire Survivors has couch co-op on mobile and no online. Dead Cells is solo. Plenty of console co-op never made it to the mobile port.
See what does not workWhat counts as a co-op mobile game here?
Two or more people on the same team, against the game or building the same world. Team modes against other players are left out for now, and so is anything that is only one against one.
Can two people play co-op on separate phones without internet?
Sometimes. 28 games here connect two devices in the same room, most over shared wifi or a hotspot. Each game page says whether that still needs an internet connection.
Can you play co-op on one phone or tablet?
Yes, 48 games here share a single screen, and 32 of them give each of two Bluetooth controllers its own player. Most need the room an iPad gives you. See the one screen list. There are also 27 Neo Geo arcade games that run two players on one device.
How do we know?
Each game carries one of three marks. Tested by us means we played it. Publisher stated means the developer or the store listing says so. Community reported means press or players say so and nobody official has confirmed it. How we check.
