local co-op
Same-screen shared play
Local co-op is a video game mode where multiple players share the same physical space and screen, as opposed to playing together online.
The term distinguishes games that support in-person multiplayer from those requiring separate devices and internet connections: Does this game have local co-op, or do we need two consoles?
