Does MultiVersus Have Couch Co-op?

It’s pretty obvious to anyone jumping into the game that MultiVersus is primarily meant to be played online. Clicking the huge “Play” button on the home screen will instantly take you to a menu where you can select a 1v1 or Teams match online. You can even join up with a friend playing on a separate console.
As it stands, MultiVersus does not support couch co-op in online play. This means that, if you want to compete online alongside a friend online, the two of you can’t be playing on the same console or television.
However, that doesn’t mean the game is completely devoid of in-person gameplay with friends. To team up with a friend against CPUs or battle against each other, players will simply have to navigate away from online play.
