1. Trials Fusion
A great physics-based motorcycle game, Trials Fusion has a multiplayer mode that lets you race against your friends on crazy obstacle courses.
2. Hidden Agenda
Fans of Until Dawn may want to give this one a look. In Hidden Agenda, players can vote on what happens to the on-screen characters using their phones and the PS4’s PlayLink feature.
3. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Whether you’re looking for a great co-op survival mode, or some fast-paced versus action, Black Ops Cold War has exactly what you’re looking for in its zombies and multiplayer modes. It’s deep, challenges, and a lot of fun with some friends by your side.
4. Spelunky
Go spelunking through a series of randomly-generated levels. This game can get quite difficult, so better to experience the frustration alongside a few friends.
5. FIFA Series

That’s You! is a PlayLink party game. Using your phones, you have to secretly answer potentially embarrassing questions about your friends.
7. FUSER

In three-player co-op, you’ll all be able to collaborate on a song, taking turns to create and add to a mix until it’s complete.
8. Fall Guys
Fall Guys was an absolute phenomenon at the back end of 2020. A few seasons later it remains popular and it’s getting new content consistently. Jumping online with a few friends is a lot of fun, especially when one of your manages to get a crown or just scrape through one of the mini-games. It’s absolutely one of the best 3 player PS4 games.

With a number of unlockable characters (check out our guide!), there’s plenty of content to grind out with your friends.
13. Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition

14. The Jackbox Party Pack Series

15. Sackboy: A Big Adventure

16. Moving Out
Taking what makes the Overcooked games great and mixing it into a game about moving house, Moving Out is chaotic fun. You’ll be shouting at your friends, laughing, and doing everything you can to meet the target. It’s a lot of fun.
17. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, it’s one person’s job to defuse the bomb, while the other two feed them instructions. It can get pretty intense.
18. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection offers tons of hours of RPG/first-person shooter goodness. This collection contains both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, along with all of their DLC.
19. Minecraft
The original sandbox crafting game is as good as ever on PS4, and features local multiplayer, as well as online multiplayer.
20. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
A modern day shoot ’em up that turns the genre on its head. You and your friends control different parts of a circular ship, in which you’ll have to run around and jump on different controls at different points of the level.
21. Outriders
While Outriders may not have local or couch co-op multiplayer modes, it does have online co-op multiplayer. Call up your friends, get them in a party on PS4 and take on the loot grind with some company. It’s far more entertaining when you play with others and it means you can likely push your World Tier up that little bit higher for the best rewards.
22. Rocket League
This high-octane sports game places you in control of little vehicles where your goal is to knock a giant soccer ball into your opponents goal. It’s so simple, yet so much fun, even if you’re not usually a fan of soccer.
23. Destiny 2
This futuristic first-person shooter blends in elements of the MMORPG genre. Three players is an excellent number for this game, as strikes are limited to teams of three players. So grab two of your closest buddies, and get striking!
24. Knockout City
While Knockout City doesn’t have local co-op multiplayer just yet, you can link up with your friends and take on another rival team in online co-op multiplayer. Grab the balls, knock out your opponents and evade incoming shots. It’s a simple premise but one with plenty of depth to keep you coming back.
25. The Division 2
In the follow-up to the popular looter shooter, players will once again complete missions in a world ravaged by a deadly virus. You can dive into Division 2‘s Dark Zone with friends for a chance at exfiltrating incredibly rare loot while hunting down other players. If you were a fan of the first game, this is well worth your time.
26. Quake (2021)
An enhanced version of the classic dark fantasy shooter has just released on PS4 and PS5 bringing the epic campaign and its three expansions to the table. You can blast your way through its iconic enemies with two of your pals in both local and online co-op, too.
27. Aliens: Fireteam Elite
If you prefer your co-op shooting action with a hint of Xenomorphs, then Aliens: Fireteam Elite is going to be one for you to check out. Boasting over 20 enemy types, 11 different Xenomorphs and five unique character classes to choose from, you and two friends will have plenty to gun down in this co-op shooter based on the beloved licensed franchise.
28. Godfall
After almost a year exclusively on PS5, Godfall has now released on PS4, too. This looter shooter puts you in the shoes of one of the last Valorian knights, god like warriors able to equip legendary armor sets that transforms the wielders into unstoppable masters of melee combat. It’s not quite at the same level as Destiny 2, but if you’ve exhausted all there is to do with your Guardian, then Godfall is well worth checking out with your friends. It’s worth pointing out, however, that the game only features online co-op, so don’t go inviting your friends round to your place to play.
29. Marvel’s Avengers
Marvel’s Avengers has come a long way since its release almost a year ago. With a number of patches and content updates, the game now has plenty for players to sink their teeth into as they fly around as Iron Man or Hulk smash their way through countless enemies. Get a few friends together, assemble your Avengers, and get grinding out that god-tier loot!
