I’ve recently been enjoying my Steam Deck and just got a dock for it. I’m on the hunt for some fun local multiplayer games to play with my girlfriend and roommates using controllers. So far, I’ve had a blast with games like Lego Star Wars, Gang Beasts, Elden Ring, and Stardew Valley. I’m particularly interested in action, racing, adventure, and fighting genres, and I’d love to find games that are $40 or less. I currently have two Bluetooth controllers, but I’m planning to get more in the future.

You should definitely check out Helldivers, Bravery and Greed, Ultimate Chicken Horse, and Gauntlet Legends. These are all super fun couch co-op games! If I think of more, I’ll let you know.
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll look into those.
Have you seen Star Drift Evolution? It offers local multiplayer with a split screen option. You can find more games like it on the Steam page by checking the Shared/Splitscreen Co-op/PVP links for a full list.
This looks awesome, thanks for the tip!
I’d suggest Cthuloot. It’s a four-player couch co-op game where you dive into dungeons, collect treasure and disarm traps for Cthulhu. It’s super fun if you enjoy that kind of adventure!
Oh, and don’t forget Overcooked! It’s a blast, plus the Jackbox party packs are a great choice since you can just use phones as controllers, so you won’t need to buy extra ones.
