I actually tested it out recently using local co-op with a friend at work. We used two Xbox controllers connected via Bluetooth while the Steam Deck was docked to a 4K TV in the conference room. It worked like a charm and we had a blast reliving the game together.

Yes, you can definitely play Resident Evil 5 co-op on the Steam Deck! You both need your own copies of the game, and you’ll be playing on separate screens, not through remote play. It has built-in online co-op, so it works pretty smoothly. This also applies to Resident Evil 6!
