Not out of the box — but the AutomataMP mod makes it co-op. NieR:Automata™ is a action rpg & dungeon crawler game released in 2017, 87% positive on Steam (140,169 reviews), with 690 playing right now. $39.99 on Steam.
Two-player co-op through NieR:Automata — the important parts sync, there is no lobby system. YoRHa Network adds online PvP instead. Steam lists NieR:Automata™ as single-player, so it won't show up in Steam's own "games we both own" view as something you can play together — Ready Up counts it anyway, marked "Via mod", and you can hide mod-only games with one filter if that's not your thing.
