Sony's PlayStation Plus Extra subscription offers a diverse library of games that cater to a wide range of gaming preferences. From epic RPGs like Dragon Quest 11 and Skyrim to fast-paced action titles like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and even competitive multiplayer games like For Honor, there's something for everyone. This variety extends to co-op gaming, encompassing both local and online experiences. In this article, we focus on the best online co-op games available through PS Plus that you can enjoy with friends.
Local co-op and split-screen games are fantastic for bringing friends together for a cozy night of gaming, and PS Plus has plenty of those covered in a separate feature. However, online co-op is equally popular and well-represented in Sony's subscription service. Whether you're teaming up to tackle challenges or compete against each other, there's no shortage of great online co-op titles to choose from.
