Step 1: Start up Lego Horizon Adventures on PS5 or Nintendo Switch.

Step 2: Complete the prologue section.

Step 3: When the option appears on the bottom right of the screen, press the Options button on the second controller to join the game.

Step 2: Press the Options button to open the menu.

Co-op in Lego Horizon Adventures is drop-in/drop-out, meaning you don't have to stop playing a stage for a friend to join or leave your game. However, do note that co-op is limited to only two players either locally or online.
