How co-op works
Two players complete Leon, Chris, Jake, and Ada’s campaigns through local split-screen or drop-in online co-op; selected story intersections briefly connect two pairs. Partners perform contextual actions, cover diverging routes, tag threats, and revive one another with health tablets when either reaches the Dying state.
About this game
Resident Evil 6 delivers action-driven survival horror through four interconnected campaigns, each following a different pair of protagonists as they battle global bio-terror outbreaks. The entire story can be experienced in true two-player co-op, with a partner joining locally via split-screen or online.

Gameplay leans heavily into fast-paced combat, melee counters, and explosive set pieces while mixing in light puzzles and resource management. Each campaign offers distinct pacing and enemy types, from shambling zombies to agile infected. Working with a partner becomes essential during overwhelming encounters, revives, and boss fights that demand coordinated positioning.
Split-screen and online co-op are both supported, allowing flexible play styles whether you're on the couch or connecting remotely. The campaigns reward communication and teamwork, especially when managing ammo, covering angles, and timing rescues during intense firefights.
