co-op game

Shared victory pursuit

A co-op game is a video game designed for players to work together toward shared objectives rather than compete against each other.

Players coordinate strategies, share resources, and rely on teamwork to progress: We beat the campaign in co-op.

Short for cooperative game.

The term extends to board games with similar mechanics.
