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.

  • 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.
