The 10 Best Online Co-op Games on Xbox Game Pass
How good it is sometimes to share the pleasure of a solo game and the fun of online games in a game where the adventure can (or must) be done with several people. This is fortunately the case for many games whose potential increases tenfold depending on the number of participants. The magic in this kind of case is that a game can radically change the atmosphere depending on the playing partners, and above all that we can tease each other by all means.
Here is our selection of the best cooperative games to discover in Xbox Game Pass updated in December.
