How to Play Couch Co-op in Diablo 4

Couch co-op has become a neglected feature in the gaming sphere these days, but as someone who grew up with the option, I’m beyond excited to see it making returns in games like Diablo 4. Here’s how to play couch co-op in Diablo 4.

  • Ensure that both players have an existing PlayStation Network or Xbox profile.
  • Connect both accounts to Battle.net here.
  • Each player must complete the game’s prologue with their chosen character.

Once you’ve taken care of the prerequisites, you’re ready to follow the final steps:

  • With Player 1’s controller, login to the game.
  • Turn on Player 2’s controller and press the button displayed in the bottom right corner displaying “Press to join”.
  • Player 2 should login with a console account that’s connected to Battle.net.
  • Select the character that completed the prologue.
  • That’s it. You’re ready to slay some demons!
