Rich storytelling, iconic characters, and action all combined make the Star Wars universe always a place where co-op experiences can shine. Several cooperative Star Wars games stand as must-plays even in 2024 to deliver these immersive adventures for casual and hardcore fans alike. Here’s a look at three of the best Star Wars co-op games, plus two honorable mentions that are well worth your time.
Star Wars: Battlefront II – 2024 Update
Though it was released in 2017, Star Wars: Battlefront II felt a new resurgence with continuous updates, including a big co-op update in 2024. That update brought in new missions, expanded storylines, and much-improved co-op mechanics. The game now features a complete set of modes, including a four-player PvE co-op, whereby you team up to take down AI-controlled enemies across several iconic Star Wars universe locations. Breathtaking graphics, epic space battles, and the fact you can play as heroes and villains from all Star Wars eras merely cement this as the crème de la crème for many.
Best Features:
Co-op Missions: Well-designed, featuring multiple difficulty levels for replayability.
Hero Customization: Players can play with their favorite heroes by customizing them.
Immersive Environments: Stunning visual and audio experiences from Hoth to Naboo.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
The LEGO line of games has always been one of the staples in terms of playing with a buddy in co-op mode, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is no exception either. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, launched in 2022 but still receiving updates, is a funny and astutely observed romp through all nine Skywalker Saga movies. This means drop-in/drop-out co-op for friends or family, while the puzzle-solving elements within the game ensure both are always involved in one manner or another. Light-hearted, faithful take on the Star Wars universe with hundreds of characters and ships, and this becomes one of the best co-op experiences.
Best Features:
A huge amount of content: It encompasses all nine movies, along with a ton of side missions and collectibles.
Accessibility of co-op: Easy gameplay makes it accessible to all ages.
Humor and charm lighten this epic tale of Star Wars.
Star Wars: Squadrons (Co-Op Update)
If you are a fan of space combat, Star Wars: Squadrons offers an exciting Co-op game mode. Updates in the past year introduced new modes of cooperative modes where, together with your friends, you would go up against some really difficult AI opponents or simply fly around them in epic space battles. Star Wars: Squadrons is, hands down, the perfect co-op experience if its realistic flight mechanics and intense dogfights are anything to go by. Any battle just feels truly epic, flying an X-Wing or a TIE Fighter in an immersive first-person perspective, full of detailed cockpit controls.
Best Features:
Realistic space combat: Flight mechanics can be mastered in an appealingly difficult manner.
Cross-play support: Friends playing on different platforms can team up together.
Strategic Gameplay: Truly requires coordination and teamwork to pull off missions.
Worthy Mentions
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Primarily designed as a single-player experience, the modding community has integrated coop into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Allowing players the chance to go through some truly electrifying combat with lightsabers and Force abilities with a friend. While this isn’t actually in the game, it’s taken off in popularity with many looking for something new from the critically popular title.
Best Feature:
Great lightsaber duels – intense ones, too – but you may have to get a little mod-heavy if you want to try these iconic battles with a friend.
Star Wars: The Old Republic 2024 Expansion
Still one of the best on the market for MMORPGs, Star Wars: The Old Republic brings in some great co-op features. Its expansion in 2024 continued the story-driven missions and cleaned up a few things with improvements to group content, which makes it easier to team up with friends and be rewarded when doing so. While this traditionally is not a co-op game, these robust group mechanics paired with expansive Star Wars lore make this one of the best experiences for fans who enjoy both MMO and co-op gameplay.
Best Feature:
Deep storylines: Dive into involved universes continuing the Star Wars universe with friends.
Conclusion
These five titles represent the cream of the crop for Star Wars in 2024 when considering the co-op lover. Want some intense space battles, light-hearted LEGO mayhem, or deep storylines? The galaxy far, far away has something to offer every kind of player.
