Part of the appeal of the Nintendo Switch is its versatility—you can play it at home on your TV or on the go in handheld mode. That versatility extends to its multiplayer and top co-op games, which can be played with individual Joy-Con controllers, in tabletop mode, and wirelessly both online and locally. What’s more, many of the best Switch games are also cross-platform games with other consoles and PCs.
And while the Switch may not be the competitive powerhouse that the best PS5 games and best Xbox Series X games are, it still boasts an incredible library of multiplayer games. In fact, the portable console is home to some of the best co-op experiences we’ve seen this generation, with fresh competitive games being added all the time. Here are our favorites, whether you’re a fan of raucous racing games, gentle simulators, or top-tier monster hunting titles.
