Remnant 2 has risen from the ashes and much like its predecessor, players can party up with their friendos and lay waste to legions of otherworldly demons together. While you can play the game through in solo, it’s fair to say that playing with some buddies in tow helps to amplify the fun factor. So, for those wondering how to play co-op multiplayer in Remnant 2, here’s an explainer detailing everything you need to know. To arms!

How to Play Online Co-Op With Friends in Remnant 2

Out of the gate, Remnant 2‘s online co-op is not available and must be unlocked to access it. Much akin to the first title, to unlock online co-op, you’ll need to have completed the short tutorial at the beginning of the game and unlocked the main World Crystal in Ward 13.

Fortunately, completing the tutorial and unlocking the main World Crystal in Ward 13 is a fairly short process and shouldn’t take you longer than an hour. The good thing is, the game tells you with a notification when you’ve unlocked the ability to play co-op.

Once you’ve done so, you’ll be tasked with following Ford through some ruins, and he’ll soon disappear into a crystal. It’s at this point when you’ll unlock co-op multiplayer for up to three other friends.
