I don't know that we've ever seen a year quite like this one when it comes to new co-op experiences. From major-publisher-backed hits like Split Fiction and Grounded 2, to indie darlings like REPO and Peak, there hasn't just been a significant quantity of games meant for co-op play, but they've gone in so many different, yet similarly exciting, directions.

The rise of games focused on hole digging is significant in 2025, with titles like A Game About Digging a Hole and Dig Dig Dino! leading the trend.

Supercell has launched a major crossover in Squad Busters featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and other SEGA characters until July 7, bringing their unique abilities to gameplay.

Finding games like Blue Prince depends on individual preferences: whether it is note-taking for puzzles, exploring mysteries, or a love for roguelikes.

An interesting story about Peak, a co-op climbing game, highlights how smart marketing and community engagement helped it sell over 2 million copies in just nine days.

Kaman's perspective on the creation of Peak reflects a shift from ambitious, long-term projects to a rapid and experimental development cycle that embraces light-hearted fun.
