Reanimal is a horror title from Tarsier Studios and serves as a spiritual successor to the team’s immensely popular Little Nightmares series, bringing players the same type of horrific jump scares and gruesome imagery they’ve come to expect. This time around, the unsettling journey involves two characters working together to solve puzzles and escape danger. And while it can be tackled solo with AI controlling one of the characters, you may want to tackle it with a friend instead. Two heads are better than one, after all.

If you’re looking to join a friend to see this spooky title through, here’s what you need to know about co-op and crossplay functionality in Reanimal.

Is Reanimal co-op?

If you’re hoping to share in some scares with friends, you’ll be happy to hear that Reanimal supports co-op, allowing you to play through the entire game with one other player. You’ll have two options:

Local co-op - In this mode, you and a friend can play couch co-op, sharing the same screen.
Online co-op - In this mode, you’ll invite or join a friend over the internet for a multiplayer session.

However you decide to play, Reanimal doesn’t use a split-screen function for multiplayer. This means you’ll both have to work together in the same area and not stray too far from one another.

Does Reanimal have crossplay?

If you’ve decided to take your cooperative adventuring online but are worried about your pals potentially being on another platform, don’t fret! Reanimal offers full support for crossplay, meaning you can play with your friends across different ecosystems. Whether you’re on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch 2, or PC, you can team up with anyone you’d like for a co-op session.
