Same job, same timer, same arguing. What to play after Overcooked.
By Stephen V., Founder & Editor · Last updated October 17, 2026 · How we pick
Every player count and crossplay flag below is the one on the game's own store listing, checked October 17, 2026. The order is by how closely each reproduces what Overcooked actually does to a room.
| # | Game | Best for | Crossplay | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Moving Out 2 Party co-op | Fans of Overcooked-style chaos who want a fresh spin. | Yes - crossplay co-op | $30.43 |
| 2 |  Overcooked! All You Can Eat Party co-op | A group of 2-4 that wants controlled chaos and a lot of yelling. | Yes - full crossplay | $22.49 |
| 3 |  Overcooked! + Overcooked! 2 Party co-op | A Switch household that wants both Overcooked games on one cartridge. | No - Switch bundle, same platform | $31.49 |
| 4 |  PowerWash Simulator 2 Co-op simulation | Two people who want a calm, no-reflexes co-op they can talk over. | Yes - cross-platform multiplayer | Check price |
| 5 |  Human: Fall Flat Physics puzzle party | A group that wants cheap, silly physics-puzzle chaos, any platform. | Yes - crossplay across platforms | $19.99 |
| 6 |  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Beat 'em up | Five or six people in one room who want a short, loud, nostalgic brawl. | Not listed - online is same-platform | $30.29 |
| 7 |  LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Family co-op action | A parent and kid, or two friends, on the couch. | No - local co-op only | $24.88 |
The verdict first: if your group has finished Overcooked and wants the same evening again, Moving Out 2 is the one to buy. It runs one to four players, local and online, and it has crossplay co-op - so the group does not have to be on matching machines, which is where most Overcooked substitutes fall down. Mechanically it is the same contract: a clock, a job that physically cannot be done by one person at the pace demanded, and a layout that punishes anybody who stops communicating. The furniture is the food.
If you have somehow not played Overcooked, buy Overcooked! All You Can Eat first and ignore everything else on this page - it is both games remastered with full crossplay, which is the version this site recommends over the standalone releases for exactly that reason. If you want the same chaos with the volume turned down to something a household can play without anybody getting upset, PowerWash Simulator 2 is the honest answer: a shared job, two on a couch or four online, and no timer at all. And if you want the cheapest way to get four to eight people shouting at physics, Human: Fall Flat is usually the least expensive thing on this list.
It is worth naming, because half the games recommended under this heading online share none of it. Overcooked works on four properties, and a substitute needs at least three of them.
One: a single shared job, not parallel jobs. Everyone is working on the same order at the same time, which is why the arguing happens. A game where four players each farm their own plot is co-op, but it is not this. Two: a clock. The pressure is what turns a kitchen into a comedy. Three: a trivially low skill floor. Nobody needs to be good at games to carry a plate - which is why Overcooked ends up in the list for people who do not play games. Four: short levels. You can stop after any one of them, which is what makes it a weeknight game rather than a commitment.
Three of the picks here have real crossplay and three do not, and that is the single most expensive detail to get wrong. Moving Out 2, Overcooked! All You Can Eat and PowerWash Simulator 2 all carry cross-platform multiplayer, so a PS5, an Xbox, a PC and a Switch can be in the same session. Human: Fall Flat does too. But the standalone Overcooked! 2 bundle we list is the Switch release and its multiplayer is same-platform only, and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge has online that is not listed as crossplay - meaning everybody needs the same kind of machine. If your group is mixed, buy from the first set. The crossplay hub carries the same check for every other category on the site.
Overcooked is famous as a couch game, but most groups that search for a replacement are not on one couch. Every pick here except the LEGO entry runs online as well as locally, and three of them seat four people on one machine from one copy - which is the cheapest multiplayer there is and the reason the one-copy games list overlaps this page so heavily. If you are buying for a room rather than a group chat, four-player split-screen games is the wider list; if you are buying for a group chat, co-op campaign games is the one to read next.
One to skip
Best for: Fans of Overcooked-style chaos who want a fresh spin.
1-4 online + local co-op · Party co-op
If Overcooked is a kitchen, Moving Out 2 is a house move - the same frantic four-player crossplay co-op, with more forgiving assist options for younger or newer players. Local and online.
Facts verified via Steam store page.
Best for: A group of 2-4 that wants controlled chaos and a lot of yelling.
1-4 players, online + local · Party co-op
Both Overcooked games remastered with full crossplay across every platform - genuinely the easiest way to get four friends on four different systems cooking together. Local and online. It will test friendships; that's the point.
Facts verified via Steam store page.
Also a top pick in Best Games to Play With Friends and Party.
Best for: A Switch household that wants both Overcooked games on one cartridge.
1-4 players, online + local · Party co-op
The physical Switch bundle of both games - handy if your group is all on Switch and you want couch co-op tonight. For mixed-platform groups, get All You Can Eat instead for the crossplay.
Facts verified via Nintendo store page.
Also a top pick in Switch and Overcooked Review.
Best for: Two people who want a calm, no-reflexes co-op they can talk over.
2 split-screen, 4 online · Co-op simulation
The first PowerWash Simulator never had local co-op; the sequel does. Steam lists it under Shared/Split Screen Co-op and the store text is blunt about the change - "in addition to online play, split-screen co-op has entered the chat". Released October 23, 2025 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2, and it is comfortably the cheapest pick on this page. It is also the slowest: no fail state, no timer and no enemy, which is the appeal for some groups and unbearable for others. Sold digitally rather than on disc, so buy it from the platform store.
Facts verified via Steam store page.
Also a top pick in New Split-Screen Games and Game Pass Crossplay.
Best for: A group that wants cheap, silly physics-puzzle chaos, any platform.
1-8 online + local co-op · Physics puzzle party
Wobbly-physics co-op puzzles for up to eight with crossplay - one of the best value party picks going, and frequently discounted. The humor comes from failure. Not a deep game, and that is the appeal.
Facts verified via Steam store page.
Also a top pick in Best Games to Play With Friends and Long-Distance.
Best for: Five or six people in one room who want a short, loud, nostalgic brawl.
Up to 6 players, local + online · Beat 'em up
One of the very few games that seats six players at once - the official line is 'up to 6 players simultaneously', locally or online. Nobody needs to be good at games to enjoy it. A full run is short, and no crossplay is listed, so everyone online needs the same platform.
Facts verified via Steam store page.
Also a top pick in 3 Players and Game Night.
Best for: A parent and kid, or two friends, on the couch.
2 players local co-op · Family co-op action
Drop-in, drop-out two-player couch co-op across all nine Star Wars films - genuinely all-ages and hard to get stuck on. It is local co-op only (no online), so it is a same-room pick.
Facts verified via LEGO official site.
Also a top pick in Couch Co-op and Switch.
Four of you, on four different machines. Moving Out 2. Crossplay co-op, four players, and the closest thing to the Overcooked contract in the catalogue - the full Moving Out 2 vs Overcooked head-to-head settles which of the two your group should buy first.
You have never actually played Overcooked. Overcooked! All You Can Eat. Both games, remastered, full crossplay. Start here and come back to this page in a month.
The group argues too much and somebody always ends up annoyed. PowerWash Simulator 2. The same shared job without a clock on it - two on a couch in split-screen or four online, with cross-platform multiplayer. It is the version of this genre you can play with a partner who hates being rushed.
You want the most people for the least money. Human: Fall Flat. One to eight players, online and local, crossplay, and routinely the cheapest title on this page - the reason it also leads our cheap picks.
You want something with punching in it.TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. Up to six players, local and online, and the one pick here that is a beat-em-up rather than a chore simulator. Online is same-platform, so check what everyone owns first.
Two of you, one sofa, and one of you is a child. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Two players, local only, no clock, nothing to lose. It is the gentlest entry on the page and the only one with no online mode at all - see can you play LEGO games online before you buy it for anyone who is not in the room.
Single-player cooking games.“Games like Overcooked but single player” is a real search and a different page; everything on this site is chosen for a group, so a solo kitchen management game would be off-topic here no matter how good it is.
Party-game collections. A minigame compilation seats the same number of people, but it breaks the first property above - everyone is competing in parallel rather than failing one shared job. If that is what you actually want, the game night guide and four-player party picks are the right lists.
Free-to-play chaos games. There are good ones, and our free crossplay picks carry them - but none of the free titles in this registry run the shared-job-plus-timer loop, so putting one here to pad the list would be dishonest about what you are getting.
Overcooked All You Can Eat vs Overcooked 2 settles which Overcooked to buy if that is still open, and the full All You Can Eat review covers the crossplay detail in depth. For the same room with more people, games for large groups; for the same chaos with two people only, the two-player list.
A kitchen or a house move. Same shouting, different forgiveness.
Two games remastered, with the crossplay the originals lacked.
Two Overcooked bundles, one right answer for your group.
Same couch, same screen, no internet required.
Exactly four of you? These are built for it.
Two players, one sofa. No, there is no online lobby.
Small budget, full game night.
Moving Out 2. It runs one to four players, local and online, with crossplay co-op, and it reproduces the three things Overcooked does to a room: one shared physical job, a clock, and a layout that makes the job impossible without talking. Player counts checked October 17, 2026 against the game's own listing.
Several. Moving Out 2, Overcooked! All You Can Eat, PowerWash Simulator 2 and Human: Fall Flat all carry cross-platform multiplayer, so a group split across PS5, Xbox, PC and Switch can play together. The standalone Overcooked! 2 Switch bundle and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge do not - their online is same-platform.
PowerWash Simulator 2. It keeps the shared job and the sense of two people working one problem, and removes the timer entirely - two players in split-screen on one console or four online, with cross-platform multiplayer. It is the pick for a household where the Overcooked evening ended badly.
Overcooked! All You Can Eat, in almost every case. It is both games remastered with full crossplay across every platform, which the standalone releases do not have. The only reason to buy the Overcooked! 2 bundle instead is if you specifically want a Switch copy and already own All You Can Eat somewhere else.
Yes. Overcooked! All You Can Eat, Moving Out 2 and Human: Fall Flat all run their full local player count from one copy on one machine, so four people cost one purchase plus whatever controllers you are short. That is the cheapest four-player multiplayer there is - see our four-player split-screen page for the wider list.
Yes - its registry entry on this site records crossplay co-op, taken from the publisher's own listing, and it runs one to four players both locally and online. That makes it the pick for a group that is not all on the same kind of console, which is the usual reason an Overcooked substitute gets returned.
Human: Fall Flat is normally the least expensive on this page, and it takes more players than any of them - one to eight, online and local, with crossplay. Prices move, so the table above carries a live price for each pick rather than a number we typed, with the date it was checked.
Overcooked! All You Can Eat, yes - it has online as well as local play and full crossplay, so the group does not need matching hardware. The standalone Overcooked! 2 Switch bundle also has online, but same-platform only. Local play in either case runs every player from one copy on one console.
