• Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault (PS3/Vita) — Tower defense co-op/competitive (online/splitscreen). Servers **active**.
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5) — **Challenge Mode** (async leaderboards, not live co-op).

• Ratchet & Clank (PS2, PS4), Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, Deadlocked (PS2 online servers dead), Size Matters, Secret Agent Clank, Tools of Destruction, Quest for Booty, A Crack in Time, Into the Nexus.

Deadlocked (PS2) Note

Had online (DNA Games servers). **Shut down 2012.** Playable via PCSX2 + Dev9 / SDLNet (LAN emulation) or PS2 Online Revival (DNAS replacement) — complex setup.

Social Alternatives

• Share Play (PS4/PS5): Stream your game to a friend; they can "pass controller" virtually.
• Discord / Steam Remote Play Together: If playing via PC (PS Now / emulation).
• Speedrun / Challenge Races: Community events (Discord, Speedrun.com).

For co-op: **All 4 One** or **Full Frontal Assault** on PS3. For solo: the rest.
