Why not put that fight on pause or cancel those reservations and game together?! This list is a wide variety of games that partners can play with each other. Some can even be played with another couple for an enjoyable team-up to take your friends down together.
There is everything from simulators to RPGs below, suitable for whatever the gaming mood of the date is! Whether looking for a cooperative undertaking or loving competition, this list of video games is a humble gathering of both and all in between.
10 Riders Republic
Pick from many various pieces of extreme sports equipment and peril through precarious terrain. Race against each other or join a bulkier race to test your snowboarding, paragliding, or mountain biking skills. Along with additional types of traversing, other means of challenges are an option.
There is also a 6v6 PVP area, as opposed to the bigger races on courses. Skateboarding has been announced as an upcoming addition to Riders Republic. Lean into the competitive spirit and race each other to a random point in the enormous open world.
9 Mario Golf: Super Rush
Decide between a favorite or best-performing character in the latest golf fashions and tee up in this amusing revival of a classic Nintendo 64 game. Compete across crazy different holes all around the Mushroom Kingdom. These fairways differ from the average, grassy, slightly hilly back nine.
The various courses have significant elevation changes, more bunker than green, and exceedingly strong winds. Competition is not limited to the determined levels; other challenges, such as Target Golf, are available. The easy-to-learn mechanics make Mario Golf a flexible option to quickly pick up for a quick game or teach to a group on double date night.
8 PowerWash Simulator
Real-world chores can be pretty unappealing and daunting, but duties in a virtual world can be effortless and accessible! Cooperate to bring shiny serenity to a diverse set of buildings, locations, and means of transportation.
Dual power washing leads to quicker job completions, new levels, and faster monetary earnings. Relish together in the silly but cool DLCs referencing Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy VII. The satisfaction of power washing may even inspire the completion of real-world chores.
7 Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
Settle into this whimsically colorful RPG presented as a Dungeons & Dragons tabletop game and enjoyed many scoffs at ridiculousness together. Revel in classic Borderlands art styles, inventory management, and bouncing around places to ludicrous characters.
Take a break from the main story quest lines to mess around in the Overworld and take out some camps or collect shrine pieces. Align forces to take out skeletons, pirates, goblins, and more. As Tiny Tina would say, teamwork makes the dream work, baby!
6 KeyWe
This birds-managing-post-office game may sound like a potential fever dream, but genuinely, it is an adorable puzzle-solving co-op. In the Bungalow Basin Telepost Office, play as Jeff and Debra, two itty bitty kiwi birds tasked with getting the mail and packages where they need to be.
Collaborate to decipher and send messages and mark boxes with appropriate labels. Collect stamps to unlock accessories for the birds (literally, not metaphorically). The cuteness of the birds will balance out any tension caused by miscommunication between players!
5 Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga
With the vast bricked galaxy and hundreds of characters attainable, prepare to dive deep into light-hearted Lego versions of all nine of the Skywalker saga Star Wars movies. Different costumes of the same character exist, and there are also DLC character packs to purchase.
Have a contest to see who catches more easter eggs and collaborate to solve puzzles. Whether a Lego or Star Wars fan, find captivating gameplay and witty humor in this game. Make the jump to hyperspace anywhere in the wide-spanning galaxy!
4 Pokémon Violet/Scarlet
Pair up to seek adorable creatures and victorious battles all across Paldea. Double hunt on the hunt for a specific Pokémon and set up the exact trades desired. Cook together to create wild dishes that are mutually beneficial. See who has what it takes to fill the Pokédex or get all the gym badges first.
Join teams together for a better chance of winning Terra Raid Battles. Be one of those couples and customize the trainers in matching school uniform styles.
3 Diablo IV
Strap in for the long gameplay haul and fight Lilith and other evil enemies as a united front in the world of Sanctuary. The amount of gear and skills customization is nearly overwhelming, so get a free instant second opinion on a character build.
Play as two of the same classes with varied abilities, or mix it up by trying different class match-ups. Multiplayer is available immediately after creating a character, so one player can invite the other to progress through quests and level up at the same pace.
2 Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Animal Crossing is a lovely and chill life simulator that gets more enjoyable with a buddy! With access to two unique spaces, progressing a player’s island can be much easier. Trade for the non-native island fruit or pieces missing from the museum.
With an empty property plot, villagers can even be exchanged between players. Open a player’s enclave to more folks to party with other couples and maybe even K.K. Slider. A second pair of eyes sure comes in handy when determining the legitimacy of Redd’s artisan wares.
1 Destiny 2
The (outer) spaces of Desinty are far and wide, infested with enemies, loot, and exciting excursions. After playing through the introduction, become a fire team and choose the following activity from many options.
Activities like defeating fellow guardians in Crucible, sinking into the lore and stories through campaign missions, or winging it on different worlds by joining public events and finding secret goodies. Revel in the beauty of adventuring all over outer space while falling in love with each other all over again!
