Does SWORN have local co-op?
No. Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo store pages do not list shared-screen or couch co-op. Online co-op is the mode they do list.
What each store page actually tags
| Platform | Local / couch | Online | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam | No shared-screen tag | Online co-op, 1–4 | Store categories |
| PS5 | Page says 1 player | Up to 4 online | PlayStation store |
| Xbox Series | No local tag | Online co-op (2–4) | Xbox store |
| Switch | No local tag | 1–2 | Nintendo store |
That “no” is four store pages missing the feature, plus Steam discussions asking the developers to add couch co-op. It is not a blog post that says “we will never add it.” Each player needs their own device and their own copy. PS5 online play also needs PlayStation Plus, which is a store requirement, not a co-op exception.
Workarounds people mention
Nucleus Co-op shows up in PC threads as a way to force multiple instances onto one screen. That is a community tool, not a mode in the game. I do not link a download and I do not describe it as supported.
If the question is really “can my friend join from another console,” the answer lives on the crossplay matrix. If the question is “what happens when someone drops,” use the multiplayer page.
FAQ
Is SWORN couch co-op on PS5?
The US PlayStation page says 1 player locally and up to 4 online. It does not list shared screen.
Is SWORN split-screen on Switch?
Nintendo lists 1–2 player co-op and does not list a local mode. Treat that as online, two players, two consoles.
