Update
Horizon Forbidden West does have a mode for two-player co-op play. Here’s how to activate it.
Horizon Forbidden West is one of the biggest releases of 2022. Acclaimed by critics when it was released, the game did not fail to create a buzz despite itself, the fault of some players discovering that… women have down. Nothing that will prevent Horizon Forbidden West from being among the best-selling games of the current year.
Horizon Forbidden West is not dead
Eclipsed by Elden Ring, released a week following it, Horizon Forbidden West has not disappeared. Many players continue to discover the forbidden West in the company of Aloy., one of the best heroines in the history of video games. Know that it is even possible to do it in cooperation thanks to an unknown feature, but yet present since the release.
And if you still haven’t tried the game, you can easily get it on Cdiscount:
Here’s how to play co-op in Horizon Forbidden West
Like many PlayStation exclusives (God of War, Days Gone, The Last of Us Part II…), Horizon Forbidden West is exclusively playable solo. Well, in theory. Because a feature called “co-pilot mode” does indeed allow you to explore the adventure for two. This is simply found in the options menu, general tab.
How does it work? Don’t expect to see a second character appear on screen and see this one split in two, like in the best co-op games. In reality, this mode allows you to connect a second controller so that two players can control Aloy, both in the exploration phases and in combat. A good way to share a moment for two, as a couple or as a family, for example. Or to make the confrontations easier, but if that will require very good coordination.
