How To Play Cult of the Lamb in Co-Op

The Goat and The Lamb in Cult of the Lamb

You can access multiplayer directly from the menu in Cult of the Lamb meaning it couldnā€™t be any easier to jump into action alongside your friends.

  1. Open up the pause menu.
  2. Select ā€œAdd Co-Op Playerā€
  3. Choose which controller to use.
  4. Summon the Goat, and thatā€™s it!

Now you should see a second player spawn into your game available to control and adventure alongside the usual Lamb that youā€™re used to battling as. From here simply continue playing as you like with your new friend.

You can end the co-op experience by opening the pause menu again and choosing ā€œRemove Co-Op Player.ā€ Thatā€™s basically everything to know about how to access this new feature. Devolver has kept it very simple, which is fantastic for new and younger gamers.

Does Cult of the Lamb Have Online Co-Op?

As of the Unholy Alliance update, Cult of the Lamb only allows for local co-op play so that means you wonā€™t be able to venture through dungeons with your friends online. It is possible that online multiplayer could come in the future, however, that has not been confirmed by the developer, so weā€™ll have to wait and see.

While that might be frustrating for some players there is a silver lining. Cult of the Lamb just became the perfect game to play with friends when theyā€™re at your house. In a world where local co-op is mostly forgotten, Cult of the Lamb brings it back, and weā€™re 100 percent behind it.

Cult of the Lambā€™s Unholy Alliance update is live on all consoles now.
