How co-op works
Two players share a local or Remote Play run across large horror-themed maps, choosing survivors with signature weapons. They explore for treasure, stack new weapons and powers, cover approaching hordes, and defeat elite creatures and bosses together.

Each run challenges you to assemble a ridiculous arsenal from dozens of weapons and power-ups, experimenting with combinations that can turn the tide. The variety in enemy types and the escalating pressure keep sessions tense and rewarding, especially when coordinating with a partner to cover angles and share pickups.
Outer Terror supports split-screen and same-screen local play, along with Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. The high-speed combat and constant threats make communication and teamwork essential, turning every run into a frantic scramble to outlast the next monstrous onslaught.
