Local Co-Op Update: Survive the Arena Together

Thank you, everyone, for your support and for trying out the game so far. I truly appreciate all the feedback, and I’m excited to share a new upcoming feature for the Arena.

Enter the Arena Together

Overclocked Arena will no longer be a solo fight.

Local co-op is arriving, allowing two players to battle through escalating instability side by side. Combine builds, cover each other, and push your limits further than ever before.

2-Player Local Co-Op

Play together on the same system using:

• Keyboard & mouse

• Controller support for the second player

Coordinate your movement, builds, and positioning as enemy pressure increases and the Arena spirals into chaos.

Steam Remote Play Supported

You can also play online via Steam Remote Play Together.

Invite a friend and jump into the Arena together. No extra copy required.

New Feature: Auto-Select Upgrades

A new Auto-select upgrades option has been added to streamline gameplay.

• Automatically selects upgrades for you

• Great for more relaxed runs or experimenting with different builds

You can toggle this feature:

• In Advanced Settings on the stage selection screen

• Or during a run by pressing TAB or the select button on single player

How to Try Multiplayer (Multiplayer Branch)

Multiplayer is currently available via a beta branch on Steam.

To access it:

1. Right-click the game in your Steam library

2. Click Properties

3. Go to the Betas tab

4. Select the multiplayer branch from the dropdown

Designed for Synergy

Co-op changes how you approach each run:

• Combine different weapon builds

• Control the enemy flow together

• Share space while managing increasing instability

The more powerful you become, the more intense the Arena gets, now for 2 players.

Work in Progress

This is the first iteration of multiplayer.

Planned improvements:

• Expanded co-op features

• Up to 4 players

• Additional polish and balancing
