Co-Op Monthly Round-Up for October 2024

The Supermarket Meta

While October saw a great amount of survival horror titles released (not only, but especially) on the Steam store, the actual new hot thing™ in the co-op meta seems to be shop games. You know, those titles like Old Market Simulator where you have to manage a supermarket together with friends and make all those customers happy. Luckily, this month also saw a ton of other, perhaps more desirable releases - for example, Ys X: Nordics, the newest entry in the long-running JRPG series.

Normally, it's the PC users that get the short end of the multiplayer-stick, but once again, developer PH3 went above and beyond with their port and added a co-op feature not included in the console releases of Ys X. They still call it "experimental" but as far as we can tell, its a very big step up from Ys IX: Monstrum Nox's humble offering. 

October also saw a ton of kid-friendly games hitting store shelves right in time for Christmas. Totally Spies! - Cyber Mission, Zag Heroez: Miraculous - Paris Under Siege, The Smurfs - Dreams, Care Bears: To The Rescue, Nikoderiko: The Magical World, and many more games invite you and your kids to spend some quality time in front of the TV together instead of making boring old memories playing catch on the front yard.

And for everyone else? Well just take a look below. The month was once again jam-packed with co-op releases for all platforms and all types of players!
