PS5 Version Overview

For The King 2 is available on PlayStation 5, giving console players access to the sequel’s party-based roguelite campaign, tactical grid combat, and co-op structure. The PS5 version is best approached as a couch-friendly strategy RPG where planning matters more than fast reactions.

Before starting, decide how your group will divide characters. In a four-character party, one player can control multiple heroes, or a group can split roles across the party. Clear ownership avoids slow turns and confused equipment decisions.

Co-op Notes

PS5 co-op works best when everyone agrees on the pace of the run. For The King 2 has many shared decisions: who gets gold, who takes a weapon, when the party rests, and when a risky objective is worth it. Talk through those choices before a bad roll forces a fast answer.

DLC Checks

If you plan to use character packs, check DLC ownership before the session starts. A group can still enjoy the base campaign without DLC, but roster assumptions should match what the installed version actually includes.

PS5 Tips

Use the larger screen and controller flow to make party planning visible. Talk through focus use, gold spending, sanctum choices, and revive plans before moving. For The King 2 punishes rushed decisions, so PS5 co-op works best when the group treats each turn as a shared tactical choice.
