How co-op works
Online co-op for two to four players across Trials and shorter MK-Challenges. Partners complete required tasks while hiding from pursuers, using complementary rigs to stun or blind enemies, reveal threats, heal teammates, and create openings for the group to escape.
About this game
The Outlast Trials drops players into the nightmarish experiments of the Murkoff Corporation during the Cold War. This survival horror game can be played solo or as a cooperative team, making it a rare entry in the genre that builds terror around both isolation and shared panic. Whether you brave the trials alone or with friends, the goal is the same: complete the therapy and escape with your sanity intact.

Each trial is a tense objective-based mission where you sneak, hide, and solve light environmental puzzles while evading relentless enemies. Working together means calling out threats, coordinating distractions, and reviving downed teammates under pressure. Communication becomes critical when every decision could mean the difference between survival and a brutal game over.
The Outlast Trials supports online co-op for groups ready to face the horror together. Sessions reward teamwork under extreme stress, where one player's mistake can spiral into chaos for the entire group. The structure encourages replay as you unlock tools and upgrades to tackle increasingly difficult scenarios.
