2024's The Smurfs: Dreams is a surprisingly solid local co-op game that PlayStation 5 owners looking for a fresh co-op game to play should definitely check out. The PlayStation 5 is home to all kinds of fantastic local co-op gaming experiences, ranging from newer games to older titles playable on the new hardware thanks to its backward compatibility with the PS4. Those with a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription can also play a selection of PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games, some of which also offer local co-op support.
