Best co-op space games
A shared trip into space can put you at a ship’s controls, deep inside an alien cave, or outside a base that still needs power and oxygen. Space-themed co-op covers much more than piloting: it can be an exploration project, a dangerous mission, or a place to build something together. Some games give the crew separate onboard responsibilities. Others focus on planets, industrial outposts, combat, or the unsettling feeling that something is aboard with you. Choose the setting first, then the kind of experience your group wants, from open-ended construction to tightly focused missions.

How we picked these games
We include cooperative games whose main setting or substantial cooperative mode revolves around space, spacecraft, stations, or extraterrestrial worlds. Crew simulation, exploration, building, action, and horror can all qualify. Space is the theme of this collection, so realistic flight or ship management is not required; a brief space level alone is not enough.
