Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service gives players well over 100 games to choose from, including plenty of titles that offer local co-op options. However, to see if a game offers local co-op support, gamers have to navigate to its Microsoft Store page, with the information not always clearly presented in Xbox Game Pass itself. Because of this, Xbox Game Pass subscribers wanting to play a local co-op game may not even realize certain titles offer the feature.

As it so happens, Xbox Game Pass is a treasure trove of local co-op games, offering a variety of local co-op titles across many genres. Even local co-op fans that have played the genre's biggest hits will likely find something they haven't played in Xbox Game Pass, so it's definitely something they should check out.

Some of the local co-op Xbox Game Pass games are no-brainers, like the Gears of War series and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. However, some of the other local co-op games are more obscure indie titles, so fans may not have even realized that they offer local co-op options. For example, indie game Nobody Saves the World is an excellent local co-op dungeon crawler, though it initially launched as an online-only game.

Some of the best local co-op games on Xbox Game Pass were added to the service just recently. Spacelines from the Far Out and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge were added to Xbox Game Pass as part of the new Xbox Game Pass games for June 2022. Research and Destroy is another local co-op game that was added to Game Pass recently, so there should be plenty new for subscribers to check out.

Looking ahead, fans can look forward to even more local co-op games coming to Xbox Game Pass. The new Xbox Game Pass games for July 2022 include some local co-op titles, like As Dusk Falls and Escape Academy, so local co-op enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to next month and beyond.
