Like Horizon: Zero Dawn, the prequel to the new Guerrilla Games production, Horizon Forbidden West offers numerous activities that will keep you busy for hours on end. But is there a multiplayer mode that will allow you to explore the vast open world with your friends?

Unfortunately, the answer is no at the moment. Horizon Forbidden West is a single-player game and there are currently no options for co-op or multiplayer modes.

The developers have, however, added one option in the new game that will allow you to share your adventure with a friend or anyone you invite to play with you. It’s called Co-Pilot and it’s simple to turn on.

To use Co-Pilot, you need to have a second account on the PlayStation platform. In this mode, you can switch control of Aloy using two different controllers.
