1237 shooter games on Steam with co-op or multiplayer, ranked by how many people are playing right now and how well they review.
Shooters are the biggest category of multiplayer games on Steam, and the one where two friends most often disagree. Counter-Strike 2 and Rainbow Six Siege reward the pair that practices; PUBG and Apex Legends want a squad that can lose gracefully; Helldivers 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and Deep Rock Galactic are the answer when one of you would rather shoot bugs than people. Marvel Rivals and Overwatch 2 sit in between — team games where a duo can queue together and carry each other. The catalog below ranks every shooter you can play with a friend by how many people are in-game right now, then by Steam rating, so a dead lobby never wins the coin toss. If you both already own a few, enter your Steam names on the home page: Ready Up will show which shooters you share, how many hours each of you has put in, and run a bracket when neither of you will pick.
