How to

So it seems kind of confusing starting local CO-OP in this game for some reason, so here's a short guide for anyone else who struggled.

First you need to be in a game world, like this

Once you're in your world and have both controllers turned on (or keyboard + controller, yada yada), you need to press a button to bring up the co-op window.

Xbox Controller: View Button See here, number 3[support.xbox.com]]
Keyboard: = key
PS4 Controller: Share (I think)

The co-op section looks like this

Once you have that up on the controller you want player 2 to use, press the relevant button again to bring up a second popup

With this popup, click the right arrow to go to the second slot, then press A (or X).

Then press A (or X) again.

Another little sackboy will appear out of nowhere.

Video guide (kind of sucks sorry)

Limitations

As of 28 Oct 2022, it is not possible to have two players from the same PC play online. Once you connect online, Player 2 will disconnect.

COOP also appears to be limited to 60 FPS.

Doesn't work with standard XBone. I am on Linux so that may be why.

@raincandy have a look online at using a ps2 controller on PC, you'll need an adapter and something for windows to think it's a ps3/4 controller

JayKBud its a bit weird but in the steam controller (hit the steam button in game and go to controller settings).
Go to remap controllers and change the steamdeck so itsnot thelast controller (play around with it).

This worked for me

The game fores the Steam Deck built-in controller as Player 1 and is unplayable. Anyone have a fix? (Deck controller is already set to lowest priority)

@7Costanza if you haven't figured it out yet. For me i had to allow a switch control to join. You'll wanna click the settings button in your library page for sack boy. Click properties, then click on the over ride for sack boy. and then you'll choose enable steam input.

Dear Sony: this feature is badly implemented, and you should feel bad.
If a game has any kind of local co op, it should be eligible for remote play together. What a waste
