How to Play Co-Op
You can play Wolfenstein: Youngblood co-op but only online with friends or random players.
Below are your options when you start the game:
- Host a Match: when hosting a match you can choose to play with a friend or allow a random online player join you. If you have the deluxe edition, you can also use the Buddy Pass system to invite a friend who does not how the game (see below).
- Quick Match: join a co-op game via matchmaking (random player online).
- Join a Game: join a co-op game with a friend.
Co-Op vs. Solo Play
Regardless of how you play, you will have Sophie or Jess fighting alongside you. You'll still have the option to revive each other. You will still share lives. When playing solo, your partner is A.I. When playing co-op your partner is a friend or another online player.
Co-op is drop in/drop out since the character is always with you.
Any leveling up you do while helping someone during their campaign carries over to your game.
How to play co-op with the Buddy Pass
In order to play Wolfenstein: Youngblood with someone who does not own the game, you'll need to have the Deluxe Edition which will give you the Buddy Pass.
(Note: the Standard Edition is $29.99 and the Deluxe Edition is $39.99)
Buddy Pass Details
The Buddy Pass allows you to invite a friend who hasn't purchased Wolfenstein: Youngblood to play through the entire game with you for no additional cost.
You can only play with one friend at a time, but you can use the Buddy Pass to invite as many friends as you want.
Buddy Pass players will not receive achievements or trophies on console.
How to use the Buddy Pass
Using the Buddy Pass is relatively simple but it does involve some work on your friends end.
- Select Host a Match
- Select Use Buddy Pass
- As long as your buddy is online and has a trial version of Wolfenstein Youngblood and a linked account, their name should appear on your available friends list.
Local/Couch Co-Op Is Not an Option
While Wolfenstein: Youngblood has a co-op mode, there is no local co-op option.
