I don’t have many on PC, but basically any TT Lego Game comes to mind, along with Sackboy a Big Adventure and The Escapist 2. That’s like a decent 75% of my splitscreen PC library though lol
hm. splitscreen seems to have peaked ages ago unfortunately. have you tried Blur Racing (archive.org)? that’s what i call prime splitscreen gaming. also borderlands3 on console is mentionworthy.
Project Zomboid is my favorite split screen game. Not split screen but shared-screen-coop and tons of fun: Wild Woods, Speedrunners, Demons Crystals, unrailed. I’ll add more if I can think of them. These all have fantastic controller support.
I used this to play Minecraft with my girlfriend on my PC and it works alright. I do use it with 2 screens though. There’s other games too but I haven’t tried any.
But yes I do agree there is a severe lack of splitscreens nowadays especially with the hardware we have available now compared to what we used to.
I’ll never understand the hate for doing this. To me, it makes perfect sense as to why you would not release the game on PC at the same time. If you don’t have people buying your system, then you’re done. Xbox is going through this now. It seems almost guaranteed they give up on developing systems and pivot exclusively to PC someday. I’ll be shocked if that handheld system they are about to release takes off.
Keep the exclusives and timed releases. If I really want to play it, I’ll buy the system or wait, it’s not a big deal.
I’m still miffed that we still can’t filter for two tags at once in Steam, unless its just me who doesn’t know how to do it. Everytime I filter more than one tag, it just acts more like an ‘or’ rather than an ‘and’.
I don’t think so unfortunately. I just like browsing via my browser. Besides the features of Augmented Steam, it’s handy having my shortcuts and gestures on the browser compared to Steam itself.
What a typo. But they’ll change their tune as soon as one line crosses another line. I’m willing to pay $70 or $80 for the right game, but my willingness to part with that much money drops precipitously as soon as you make me wade through spoiler-filled GOTY season without having access to the game. When you port the game to PC a year late, I’m probably content to keep waiting for half price.
This is my own approach, to a T. If you make me wait, I’ve lost interest. There are so many amazing games out there, many from more deserving indie studios, that the competition for my attention and money is fierce. This goes for delayed releases and releases that launch with malware like Denuvo. It’s very unlikely that I will ever touch either, even at a steep discount.
I need a search option for “most obscure controller support” so I can speedrun them with my Dark Souls certified Keytar and 7 piece drum set
But really searching by, and adding more accessibility to games is good, more accessibility is never bad. Glad we’re not listening to capital G Gaaaamers who think adding things to make games easier somehow detracts from their ability to perform (admittedly very cool) frame-perfect dodges or somehow means their practiced twitch perfect shot in CS2 is somehow meaningless because more people can…checks notes play the game
I wish they’d expand on it and have a filter for player count in co-op. I have a game group of five and finding co-op, 5 player games is hard/most of them cap at 4.
The ones that don’t cap at 4 and aren’t requiring high dexterity (i.e. fps) are base building survival games all the way down— which are fine for the most part, don’t get me wrong, I just wish we could find something with the production quality and premise of Outlast Trials.
So far we’ve done: Conan Exiles, The Forest (1 & 2), Astroneer, Core Keeper, Return to Moria, Green Hell (may have been before we were at 4), Demonic, Deep Rock (with a 5 player mod), and a little REPO (which was good, but no progression system yet). I wanted to try Barotrauma but the puppet movement’s a bit janky for me.
I know there’s a third party search engine I can use, but it’s sooo full of junk it’s hard to find anything worthwhile.
Looking forward to The Big Walk, and am keeping an eye on Dune when it comes to consoles.
Do you know about co-optimus.com? Is that the “third party” you mentioned?
I don’t know of anything better. Setting your filter and sorting by user rating is pretty effective. Aside from that I sort by release date and check back every now and then.

I just now noticed they had a toggle for ‘Released,’ so I don’t have to see a bunch of TBD games. I’m just gonna start doing what you’re doing and keep an eye on the list once in a while. Thank you for the tip!
