How to Play 2-Player Cuphead
The popular run-and-gun action-adventure game, Cuphead, now has the ability to be played cooperatively with a second player. For those who have played the game and wish to play with a friend or family member, this article will guide you on how to start a 2-player co-op match in Cuphead.
Getting Started
Before we dive into the gameplay, it’s essential to note that only two players can play together at once, and only online co-op is supported. Unfortunately, local co-op is not an option in the base game.
Setting up the 2-Player Co-op in Cuphead
Here are the steps to start a 2-player co-op match:
- Boot up Cuphead and select Play Game:
Launch Cuphead, select Play Game from the main menu, and choose the type of play mode you desire. You can either play single-player or join an online co-op mode.
2. Online Co-op Invite:
Before inviting someone to join your online co-op play session, ensure your game clock and timer settings match. After you have matched settings, tap Join a Session, then click on the Friend’s Nickname** button from the in-game menu.
FAQ: Why does the other player have a different location or background compared to myself?
In the original Cuphead (and the recently released Supersmooshed remake), Cuphead and co-op characters had distinct artwork for co-op levels based on player characters. In version 2, all the co-op backdrops, graphics, and levels maintain a standard for consistency without distinctiveness from single player areas.

They help your movements in combat more accurately by pressing **Forward+X/Square/W**, respectively, and tapping the **Backslash+Circle/O** to avoid falling platforms. You only require 4 keys to complete essential Cuphead movements at your disposal:
√ Up & Down → Control vertical navigation.
√ Right → Progress horizontally & Dash to increase your move.
√ Left → Stop/Change course to face against other side direction.
3. **Button controls should mirror player** and Cuphead; there won’t exist 3 unique characters without individual attacks but **all controls have some slight overlap in character’s movements/ attacks.
