Much like its predecessor, the three-player co-op mode is one of the highlights of Remnant 2. However, you can’t jump straight into the co-op mode as you need to unlock it first. Here is a step-by-step description of how to activate co-op play and invite others to join you on your adventure through the shooter Soulslike.
How to enable co-op play in Remnant 2
To activate remnant 2 co-op, you must complete the tutorial and the main scenario.

Inviting friends to your co-op session
To invite your friends into your game world, head to the ‘System’ tab in the main menu and click on ‘Friends’. Here, you can personally invite your friends to join your co-op session. Just above that option, you’ll find ‘Game Session’, where you can choose between ‘Public’, ‘Friends Only’, and ‘Offline’ settings. This allows you to control who can join your session, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable co-op experience.
The ‘Join Game’ option grants you access to a randomly assigned coop game alongside fellow players. However, it does not offer direct means of communication with your friends. In case you find yourself facing a particularly challenging segment while playing solo, utilizing ‘Join Game’ within dungeons enables you to find assistance. As the host, you will receive notification when someone joins your game and, if necessary, they can revive you near the Checkpoint Stone.
