How co-op works
Two local players share the full open-world adventure on one screen. They explore islands, clear dungeons, swap weapons, cast spells, and fight side by side on land, then travel and battle pirate ships together aboard the same vessel.
About this game
Cat Quest III casts you as a feline buccaneer exploring a sprawling pirate-themed world filled with islands, dungeons, and Pi-rat enemies. The third entry in the series adds ship navigation and naval combat to the accessible action RPG formula, and the entire adventure supports drop-in local co-op so a second player can join the treasure hunt at any time.

Real-time combat lets you dodge, slash, and unleash magic alongside your partner, while ship battles and shore exploration flow seamlessly together. Loot collection, quest progression, and character growth remain shared, so every fight and discovery benefits both players equally. The lighthearted tone and approachable mechanics make it easy to enjoy without constant strategy discussion.
Local couch co-op runs on a shared or split screen depending on how far apart players roam, and Steam Remote Play Together extends that setup online. Sessions blend exploration, dungeon crawls, and boss encounters into a steady rhythm that rewards teamwork without heavy coordination demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a second player join mid-game, or do we both need to start together?
A second player can drop in at any time during your adventure. You don't need to restart or plan co-op from the beginning-just hand them a controller whenever they want to join the treasure hunt.
Is the screen shared or split in local co-op?
The screen dynamically adjusts based on how far apart you and your partner are. If you stay close together, you'll share a single screen. When you roam farther apart, the game switches to split-screen so both players can explore freely.
Do both players share loot and progression, or does everyone keep separate progress?
Loot, quest progression, and character growth are shared between both players. Every treasure you find, quest you complete, and experience you earn benefits both purrivateers equally, so no one falls behind.
Can we play online co-op, or is it local only?
Cat Quest III is designed for local couch co-op, but you can extend it to online play using Steam Remote Play Together. One player hosts and streams the game to a friend over the internet, so you can still adventure together remotely.
Does co-op require constant communication and strategy, or is it more casual?
The game is very approachable and doesn't demand heavy coordination. You'll fight, explore, and sail together in real time, but the lighthearted tone and accessible mechanics mean you can enjoy it without needing constant planning or callouts.
