Get Nucleus Co-op

One download, no installer, no account. Unzip it, start it, and your PC is a couch co-op console.

Install in four steps

1. 1

   Pick a folder

   Create C:\NucleusCo-op, or the same at the root of the drive your games are on. Not in Program Files, OneDrive or your user folder.

2. 2

   Allow it in your antivirus

   Add the folder to your antivirus exclusions before extracting: some files that hook into games are often flagged by mistake.

3. 3

   Unzip

   Right-click the zip, Properties, tick Unblock, then extract it into the folder, ideally with 7-Zip.

4. 4

   Play

   Start NucleusCoop.exe, add your games and hand out the controllers.

The full install guide covers SmartScreen, updates and where everything goes.
