As explained, Revenge of the Savage Planet offers two co-op options: split-screen and online co-op. In these modes, the game is restricted to two players. You can team up with a friend to explore the world and take on enemies. You can begin your journey at any time during the playthrough, or you can create a new save file.

Before starting co-op, you have to decide on the host who will create the game session. You can do this by selecting the save file that will be used to load the title.

Since both players share a single profile on a single device, your upgrades and worlds will be shared with your friend.

The online co-op has an option that will automatically assign you as the host of the lobby. You can then invite your friend (player two), allowing them to enter your game with shared progress. If you are joining a session, you will have to play with the progress that the host has made in their game and adjust to their items and upgrades.

After loading the session, you and your partner will spawn in the Habitat and will be free to explore the world. However, there are some restrictions, like when you interact with the game menu, the entire screen will be covered, and the game will pause. However, the radial equipment menu will only pause the portion of the screen where it's accessed and will no longer stop the game.
