What the pages say
- PlayStation Store (PS4): "1 - 4 players", "Supports up to 4 online players with PS Plus".
- Xbox Store console listing: Online co-op (2-4), Single player; no local co-op entry. The PC/handheld Xbox listing does list local co-op 2-4 and Shared/split screen.
- Nintendo eShop US description (Switch and Switch 2): "Local split-screen co-op supports up to four players." The Switch player fields list single system as Single player; Switch 2 fields list local 1-4 and online 1-8.
- Steam (2026-11-01): Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Online Co-op, LAN Co-op, Remote Play Together; description: "Invite 1-7 players to join you in the valley online". Steam's "Shared/Split Screen" category covers both one shared screen and a split screen, so it does not tell which one this game uses.
Still open
- Xbox console: the store lists online co-op only; couch co-op on Xbox consoles is not confirmed.
