Co opwill provide assistance to you during your zombie escapades, and there are indeed multiplayer options inDead Island 2available to you. You can team up with two other players to take on quests and level up. However, the co-op process isn’t as easy as a game likeDestiny 2orFortnite.Here’s everything we know about the multiplayer options inDead Island 2.
Dead Island 2provides three-player co-op, but you must first reach a point in the story tounlock the option to play it. You must finish the prologue mission, and after defending a celebrity’s mansion and leaving it, a prompt will open up. It will say that co-op is now available to you. The protagonist also says a third-wall-breaking comment.
To begin the invitation process, you’ll need to change the Game Type from Public to Invite Only, Public, or Friends Only. It will then create a session for you. Once you’re in the game, go to the pause menu. Select “Session.” Now, press the square button (or X on Xbox). Your friends list will appear and you may invite your pals with the cross button (A on Xbox). You may need your friends when facing some of the nasty bosses in the game likeBecki the Brideand findinghidden sectionsof the map.
At the time of writing,Dead Island 2does not support any kind of crossplay. Unfortunately, you are stuck with your friends on the same console. If you have a PS5 copy, you won’t able to team up with someone on Xbox or PC.
Like many modern games,Dead Island 2does not support split screen of any kind. Sadly, you won’t be able to play this game on the couch. If you want an experience like that, you might want to check out theBorderlandsseries. Even the third entry supports it.
