Rayman Legends Retold Co-op: Online Is the Open Question

Rayman Legends Retold co-op seats four people on one console on every store that prints a count, but only one of the five listings prints the words "Online co-op." Xbox runs two pages for the game, and they disagree.

Two Xbox pages for one game

Page A, the Xbox store page ending 9nmp2pljn7n9, prints a 12/3/2026 release date and two capability lines: Xbox local multiplayer (2-4) and Optimized for Xbox Series X|S. Page B, the one ending 9N8GKV7S03KJ, prints eight: Xbox local co-op (2-4), Online co-op (2-4), Xbox local multiplayer (2-4), Online multiplayer (2-4), Xbox cross-platform multiplayer, Single player, Shared/split screen and Optimized for Xbox Series X|S.

Page B also says "Game requires online multiplayer subscription to play on console." It prints no release date. In Microsoft's catalog its date is a far-future placeholder, 9998-12-30, and it was last modified on Nov 10 at 23:20 UTC. Page A was last modified on Sep 14.

We cannot say which page your console's store will open at launch, or why Microsoft lists both. If online matters to you, read the capability line of the page your console shows. The Shared/split screen label there is Xbox's own wording and covers both a divided screen and one shared view.

Rayman Legends Retold co-op online: one listing says yes

Each listing, in the store's own words:

Four of the five listings print a one-console number, and all four stop at 4. Only one prints "Online co-op." Seats agree across the stores; online does not.

Ubisoft's own wording stays on the couch. Its game page says "Play solo or up to 4-player couch co-op." The PlayStation page also says "up to 4-player couch co-op" and adds: "Internet connection, Ubisoft Account and PlayStation™Network account required to access online features." The Xbox pages carry the same sentence with a Microsoft account. That sentence refers to online features and never names one.

What Ubisoft built for four people sharing a screen

Two Ubisoft posts from Sep 22 cover what the studio added for a group: a Q&A on Ubisoft News and a feature post on ubisoft.com. The two posts list:

• Highlights: coloured outlines on player characters, so each player can follow their own.
• Defeated players: they float in an energy sphere, visible through level geometry as a silhouette. Pressing any button brings them back toward the leading player; holding it keeps them attached.
• Fairy Blessing: Ubisoft's feature post gives two ways in: "If the player dies repeatedly at the same checkpoint, Betilla will appear and offer her help through the Fairy Blessing power," and players can also turn it on "by speaking to Betilla or through the Settings menu." The Q&A calls it "An optional blessing from Betilla that can be enabled in the settings." Once on, it prevents damage and allows flying, and the Q&A says it "Revives the player and floating allies." Both posts name the hubs and the Cave of Trials challenges as places it does not work, and both include Kung Foot (the Q&A: Kung Foot Evo).
• Settings: "Accessibility settings can be customized independently, including during co-op play."
• Costume shop: moved "so that groups can browse and choose outfits together more naturally."

These are the publisher's claims about its game, and we have not played it. The Standard Edition is rated E10 by the ESRB on the Steam page, which makes it a fit for the kids co-op guide.

Rayman Legends Retold co-op on one couch: four seats

Every store that prints a number prints a ceiling of 4. Nintendo also lists TV, tabletop and handheld modes. The Standard and Deluxe Editions ($39.99 and $49.99 on Xbox, PlayStation and Steam) include Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, and no page gives that game its own seat count.

Do four people get four panes? No page says. The Xbox page B and Steam labels read "Shared/split screen," which fits both. The Ubisoft post points one way: it says "characters may overlap or cluster closely together" in co-op, and that outlines let you follow your character "even when multiple players occupy the same area of the screen." That reads like one shared view, but it is our reading, not a store's claim.

Steam also lists PvP and Shared/Split Screen PvP, which fits the Kung Foot Evo mode Ubisoft names. Neither page gives a player count for it.

What PlayStation, Nintendo and Steam print about another home

The PlayStation Store prints "Online play optional" and "Remote Play supported," and no count of network players. For comparison, the same store's page for TMNT: Splintered Fate prints "4 network players." Here that field is missing.

Nintendo's page prints "GameShare: Online, Local" and no online count. Its GameShare support page says "Up to four Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch systems can participate in a GameShare session. A Nintendo Switch 2 system is required to host a GameShare session." It adds: "It's up to each developer if they choose to implement GameShare, and in what way." The Rayman page does not say how many of the four systems the game uses. Our Switch 2 couch co-op guide lists the game with the same Single system (1-4) line.

Steam lists Co-op, Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Shared/Split Screen, Cross-Platform Multiplayer and Remote Play Together. It does not list Online Co-op, and an archived copy from Oct 6 shows the same labels. Remote Play Together is a stream: Valve says "one player owns and runs the game, then up to four players … can quickly join in the fun."

The Sony Remote Play flag, Steam's Remote Play Together and Nintendo's GameShare are three different features, and no page calls any of them "online co-op."

Our take: plan on four, wait for the release-day pages

Plan on four on one couch, and treat online co-op as unconfirmed until launch. Four listings on three stores (Xbox's two pages, PlayStation and Nintendo) print a one-console count of 4, and Ubisoft's page says "up to 4-player couch co-op." Only one listing out of five prints "Online co-op," and the publisher names no online mode.

If you only play side by side, pick any console: three stores list $39.99 and all four counts end at 4. Ignore this if you were hoping to play across two homes; wait for the release-day pages. Our Xbox couch co-op list, PS5 couch co-op list and four-player local games list show what else fits.

What is still open, and how we read the pages

Which Xbox page the Series X|S store sells at launch, and why there are two. Whether the game has online co-op at all: one Xbox page and the Steam Cross-Platform Multiplayer label are the only hints. How many players GameShare can carry in this game. Whether the TV divides. Which Switch 2 price Nintendo will print. How many play Kung Foot Evo. The Epic Games Store listing and Ubisoft's US price were not read.

We read Microsoft's catalog entries for both Xbox product IDs and both xbox.com pages on Nov 11. We read the PlayStation Store page, Nintendo's US product page, Nintendo's GameShare support page and Ubisoft's game page from our own server, because those domains do not resolve on our desk machine. That server is in Canada, so Ubisoft's page showed no US price we could use. Steam's store data was read from the same server and matched with an archived page from Oct 6. Prices are each store's regular list price on Nov 11, and none showed a discount. Our Rayman Legends Retold game page holds the Nintendo row only so far. We have not played the game; it is not out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Standard Edition of Rayman Legends Retold include Rayman Origins? Yes, according to the stores. The Xbox, PlayStation and Ubisoft pages list Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition with the base game, and the Deluxe Edition adds more on top. None of them gives a separate player count for Origins.

Is there a Switch, PS4 or Xbox One version of Rayman Legends Retold? Not on the pages we read. Ubisoft lists PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, plus the GeForce Now and Blacknut streaming services. The Steam page lists Windows only.
