How co-op works

Two local or online players infiltrate simultaneously as an Agent and Hacker. The Agent moves physically through guarded rooms while the Hacker navigates their virtual network to control cameras, doors, alarms, and holding cells; timed co-op minigames require both roles, despite competitive scoring.

About this game

Hacktag splits espionage into two asymmetric roles. One player controls the Agent, sneaking through secure facilities and avoiding guards, while the other takes on the Hacker, who breaks through firewalls and opens doors from a virtual interface. Both players tackle the same mission from completely different perspectives, and success depends on tight coordination.

The asymmetry creates constant back-and-forth communication. The Hacker disables security systems and scouts camera feeds while the Agent moves through rooms, grabs data, and stays out of sight. Missions escalate quickly when plans fall apart, forcing both players to adapt under pressure.

Hacktag supports online co-op and local split-screen on Windows and Mac, with cross-platform multiplayer available. The two-role structure makes every run a test of timing and teamwork, whether you are sitting side by side or coordinating over voice chat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Hacktag solo, or do I need a co-op partner?

Hacktag is designed as a two-player co-op game with asymmetric roles. While the Steam listing mentions single-player, the core experience requires coordination between the Agent and Hacker roles, so it's best enjoyed with a partner either online or in local split-screen.

How does the asymmetric gameplay work between the Agent and Hacker?

One player controls the Agent who physically sneaks through facilities avoiding guards, while the other plays as the Hacker who operates from a virtual interface to disable security systems, open doors, and monitor camera feeds. You're tackling the same mission from completely different perspectives, so constant communication is essential.

Can we play together if one person has the game on Windows and the other on Mac?

Yes, Hacktag supports cross-platform multiplayer between Windows and Mac, so you can play together regardless of which platform each player is using.

Does Hacktag support couch co-op, or is it online only?

Hacktag supports both local split-screen couch co-op and online co-op, so you can play together on the same screen or coordinate remotely over voice chat.
