HyperX Blog

Some friendships are forged in fire. Others in late-night raids, chaotic minigames, or that one clutch revive that turned a wipe into a win.

This National Best Friend Day, we’re celebrating duos that slay together, revive each other, and laugh through loading screens. We’ve gathered the most heart-pounding, high-fiving, “I’ll cover you” games to play with your favorite player two. Plus, we’re tagging in OMEN and HyperX—because like all great gaming combos, some tech is just better together.

1. 1.     It Takes Two – The Co-Op Gold Standard

If friendship had a final boss, this would be it. It Takes Two is designed from the ground up for two players, forcing creative cooperation and laugh-out-loud teamwork across chaotic levels. You’ll yell, scheme, and maybe tear up—then go right back in for more.

Best for: Emotional rollercoasters, chaos lovers, “us vs. the world” vibes.

1. 2.     Helldivers 2 – War Has Never Been This Fun

Forget quiet nights in. In Helldivers 2, you and your bestie drop into the front lines of a galactic war with only your wits and an irresponsible amount of explosives. Accidental friendly fire? Likely. Glorious victories? Absolutely.

Best for: Explosive friendships and tactical duos who laugh through the carnage.

1. 3.    Split Fiction – Storytelling Gets a Co-Op Twist

A choose-your-own-adventure for two minds, Split Fiction blends narrative depth with shared decision-making—and it even lets your bestie play for free with the Friend’s Pass. Talk about carrying your team.

Best for: Thinkers, talkers, and friends who always ask “What if?”

1. 4.     Pico Park 2 – Teamwork or Tantrum?

Tiny cats. Big problems. Pico Park 2 forces you to move in perfect sync—or fall hilariously short. The puzzles seem simple, but coordination is everything. Screaming is optional. Laughter is not. Bonus: it's an eight-player party game, so you can turn your dynamic duo into a whole chaotic crew.

Best for: Loud group chats, Twitch streamers, and friends who swear they’re good at platformers.

1. 5.     Super Mario Party Jamboree – Mini-Games, Major Grudges

Let’s be honest—nothing tests friendship like a Mario Party board. But Jamboree brings enough mini-games and nostalgia to melt even the coldest competitive heart. For one night only, Bowser can be your third bestie.

Best for: Nostalgic chaos and friends with fast thumbs.
