Looking for co-op shooter game recommendations for console. Any suggestions?

My older brother, who’s in his 40s, has shown interest in gaming again after about 20 years. He’s only interested in playing co-op games, but I mostly play PvP shooters, so I am not as familiar with good PvE options. He is not into competitive play at all.

I am looking for suggestions for co-op PvE games on PlayStation that we can play online since we live in different states. I’ve thought of Helldivers 2 and some of the CoD campaigns, but I’m trying to come up with more options.

I also remembered Ghost Recon: Breakpoint/Wildlands, which he’d likely enjoy.

Any recommendations?

Play through Ghost Recon Wildlands together, you are going to have a blast.

I second this! My brother and I tackled the Fisher missions while underleveled, and after many hours, it was such a fun challenge with great co-op gameplay.

I would like to add that if they aren’t feeling burnt out after finishing the massive challenge that is Wildlands, Breakpoint is also a solid game these days. The stealth system has improved compared to Wildlands, and you have the option to completely disable the gear level system if you prefer. While I still think Wildlands is the better overall game, Breakpoint offers the best stealth mechanics in any Ubisoft title since Blacklist, so it might be worth a try.

Did they add our NPC companions from Wildlands again? According to what I have read, you are alone yourself in Breakpoint and lose interest right away.

Yes, they added AI companions and you can customize their loadout

Do you still have to download Ubisoft’s launcher to play those games via Steam?

Having the ability to turn off gear levels was the best thing that happened to that game.

Oooh, great answer! Breakpoint is also a blast a fun sandbox packed with shooting action.

Division 2 is a fantastic place to play cooperatively. Had a great day exploring Washington, DC, and playing with friends.

You still playing it? It’s still a thriving game.

Damn I need to hop back on this game. Used to play it all the time but haven’t played in at least a year or so.
