Co-op Mobile Games

Games that are not co-op on mobile

104 games get recommended for playing together on mobile and do not work the way the list says. Some have co-op on console that the mobile port dropped. Some shut down. Some are versus with a co-op label.

Listed as co-op, and it is not

8 Ball Pool
Versus game. Mobi.gg labels it 'online co-op'. mobi.gg
Apex Legends Mobile
Shut down 1 May 2023. Earnscape lists 'Apex Legends Mobile 2.0'. en.wikipedia.org
Archero 2
Store text shows guild raid, friendly duel and 3v3 football, no real time co-op PvE confirmed. play.google.com
Crashlands 2
Google Play listing categorises it as single player with no multiplayer mention. play.google.com
Dauntless (mobile)
A mobile version was never released and the game shut down on 30 May 2025. Earnscape lists a 'Dauntless Mobile Beta'. en.wikipedia.org
Dead by Daylight Mobile
Removed from stores 16 January 2025, servers closed 20 March 2025. Still listed by Earnscape and VGTimes. stevivor.com
Dead Cells
Listing is single player, no multiplayer of any kind. play.google.com
DUAL!, Asphalt 8, Badminton League, Sea Battle 2, Pocket Tanks, Mini Motor Racing
Device each over wifi or Bluetooth but versus only. techwiser.com
Elemental Dungeon: Roguelike
Description hints at friends joining your quest but a July 2026 review says the multiplayer feature cannot be found. Unverified. play.google.com
Fortnite: Save the World
Fortnite's co-op PvE campaign is not available on mobile. epicgames.com
Granny's House
Free Apps For Me lists it as local wifi. The listing shows online team modes (2 vs 6, 4 vs 16) and a story mode with teammates, nothing local. play.google.com
Heroes of CyberSphere
DigitBin's Play link now resolves to a differently named app (Robot Subdolous Ireful Inbreak) with online PvE co-op and no LAN mention. Not trustworthy. play.google.com
Honkai: Star Rail
No co-op or multiplayer of any kind. Earnscape claims 'co-op expeditions and shared combat challenges'. game8.co
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
Co-op and live on Google Play, but only one device runs the game. The other players read a manual on paper or at bombmanual.com, so it is a one-device game, not device-each. play.google.com
Mini Militia - Doodle Army 2 (now Mini Militia - War.io)
Current listings describe online multiplayer for up to 6 and an offline survival mode that is solo. Lists still call it local wifi co-op. play.google.com

Listing describes offline single player and online multiplayer. LAN play not stated. Online slice candidate. play.google.com
Monster Hunter Outlanders
Not released, still in closed beta. Planned four player co-op. en.wikipedia.org

Co-op for up to 4 is described without any local or LAN option. Treat as online. Play com.EtherGaming.PocketRoguesUltimate. play.google.com
Rebel Inc.
Mobile listing is tagged single player and mentions no co-op. Co-op belongs to the PC Escalation edition. play.google.com
Sea of Stars
Mobile listing does not mention the console co-op mode. Not proven absent, just not stated. play.google.com
Sid Meier's Civilization VI
Publisher iOS FAQ says multiplayer is LAN only and not cross-platform. The FAQ may be old and the mode is competitive by default, so co-op against AI on mobile is unconfirmed. Left out of the games list. support.aspyr.com
Special Forces Group 2
Team versus shooter with online and wifi router play. Zombie Mode exists but nothing I opened says it is players against AI, and DigitBin is the only source calling it co-op. iOS build last updated 2020. play.google.com

Torchlight: Infinite
Google Play lists it as single player and neither store description mentions co-op or party play. Loot and Grind lists it as a multiplayer pick. play.google.com
Zenless Zone Zero (as a co-op RPG)
Kept in games with low confidence. Co-op is limited to arcade minigames and limited time events, not the 'co-op dungeons' Earnscape describes. game8.co

Listed as same device, and it is not

Recommended for two players on one phone or tablet. Most of these need a device each or are versus only.
