Couch co-op returns to NHL 16. Learn more about how and when to use these feature.
WHERE CAN I USE COUCH CO-OP?
Couch co-op is available in the Online Versus mode of NHL 16. This allows you to play with your friends against another team of players online.
Once you have set up a match, you will have the option to add friends to your side of the match.
Make sure you have spare controllers handy and already synced to the console before setting up a match.
HOW TO ADD FRIENDS TO YOUR MATCH
Both consoles support couch co-op, but the requirements and process are different. Please follow the steps for your console below to add local friends to your match.
Xbox One

- While you and your opponent are setting up your teams, use the add/remove guest option by pressing the menu button on another Xbox One controller.
