Games Like Lethal Company: Four Picks by Shared Job

For games like Lethal Company, choose R.E.P.O. for the closest loot-extraction loop, Murky Divers for a larger cleanup crew, or Content Warning for a risky filming expedition. PEAK is an adjacent, non-salvage pick for groups that want consequential teamwork. All four have online co-op on Steam for Windows; check the copyable price and player table before buying.

What makes a useful Lethal Company alternative?

Lethal Company's official Steam description describes a crew collecting scrap from dangerous moons to meet a profit quota, with a ship role, tools, and teammates communicating to return before conditions worsen. We used four questions to compare alternatives: What shared job drives the run? How does one player's action change another's chance of success? What interrupts or ends a run? What meaningful part of that loop changes? This is our editorial method, not a developer-issued genre label or a claim of hands-on play.

A community request for game names supplied candidates, not proof that any title plays alike. Every included mechanism below comes from the linked developer store descriptions. We excluded name-only suggestions when their official descriptions did not establish a useful mechanical match.

Copyable comparison: price, players, mode, and platform

These are US Steam storefront prices observed September 28, 2026, not promises of future prices or prices in other regions. “Windows” means the Steam edition checked here; it does not claim that other platforms do not exist. Each linked store page lists online co-op. None of these Steam feature lists explicitly lists shared or split-screen co-op, so do not buy on the assumption of one-device couch play. Check the store again before purchase.

The prices above were checked against Steam's US store data on September 28, 2026. The PEAK sale price is temporary; use the store link for today's amount. This table is HTML text that can be selected and copied, not a picture of a list.

R.E.P.O.: the closest match if moving loot is the fun part

The developer's Steam page describes a team entering monster-filled places, locating valuable objects, and extracting them for its employer. Proximity voice chat and physics-based grabbing make the team's handling of an object part of the problem. That makes R.E.P.O. the clearest substitute here for players who like Lethal Company's find valuables, communicate under threat, get out structure.

The important difference is how the cargo is handled: a heavy or fragile object can demand coordinated movement, not merely a safe route back. The store lists up to six online players and Early Access. Six seats make it a better fit than a four-seat game when everyone is joining, but the horror and monster threat remain. “Closest” is our comparison of the two official task descriptions, not a measured similarity score.

Murky Divers: take the corporate cleanup underwater

Murky Divers' store description sends a crew into abandoned undersea labs to remove bodies and erase evidence. Oxygen and creatures threaten divers, while the submarine's sonar and stations require the crew to navigate together. Extracted evidence is destroyed for credits that can fund later equipment. That gives the game a repeatable dangerous job, return, upgrade shape similar to Lethal Company's contract loop, but with a vehicle and multiple crew stations.

The official page separates its party sizes by submarine: a small sub for solo or two, a regular sub for up to four, and a large sub for five to eight. This matters more than the headline “up to eight” if your group dislikes managing a big vehicle. Its feature list includes online co-op and proximity voice; horror and underwater pressure are not a low-stress escape from Lethal Company. Our inference is that this is the best listed swap when the group is larger and still wants an extraction-like job.

Content Warning: keep the risky expedition, change the objective

The Content Warning Steam page says two to four online players descend into a dangerous old world, film frightening events, and return before oxygen, camera battery, or teammates run out. Surviving footage is uploaded for views; enough views over a three-day run keeps the career going, while ad revenue buys gear. That creates the same understandable group rhythm of go in, capture something valuable, return alive, with a camera and audience replacing the scrap-and-company fiction.

This is not a promise of gentler horror. The developer explicitly calls it co-op horror and describes monsters. Pick it if recording the group's mistakes and watching the result together sounds more appealing than physically transporting loot. The player cap and online mode are listed on its Steam page; the current US storefront price is in the table.

PEAK: an honest adjacent pick, not another salvage game

The PEAK store page gives a group of up to four a changing mountain to climb. Friends can help one another up ledges, place ropes or spikes, share survival items, and talk through proximity chat. Injuries reduce stamina, so an error can affect the next section of the same ascent. This clearly passes our shared job plus consequential teamwork test.

It does not offer a company quota, collected scrap, or a horror extraction trip. Choose it when the desired likeness is friends depending on each other and turning a mistake into a story—not when the group specifically wants monsters and loot. The Steam listing describes friends-only online multiplayer and offline single-player; it does not list local split-screen co-op. Its sale price in the table is a September 28 snapshot, not a standing recommendation based on price.

Which one should your group buy tonight?

Ask everyone to pick the job, not just a familiar title. Want the nearest cargo-extraction loop and six seats? Start with R.E.P.O. Need five to eight people and like operating a submarine? Check Murky Divers' large-sub mode. Want a four-person horror expedition whose result is a replayable recording? Choose Content Warning. Want a communication-heavy outing but not another corporate salvage assignment? PEAK is the clearly labeled departure.

Then verify three constraints in order: headcount, online versus local play, and today's regional price. All four entries here have an official Windows Steam page and online co-op, but a Steam mode listing is not a definition of friendslop. Local co-op is a separate factual question. If even mild horror is a hard no, use our non-horror friendslop guide rather than assuming that every game in this list is safe for that group.

Quick answers

Which game is most like Lethal Company for collecting loot? R.E.P.O. is our closest pick because both official descriptions center on recovering valuables from dangerous places and getting the team out. R.E.P.O. makes physics-based handling a bigger part of the shared problem.

Which alternative fits more than four friends? R.E.P.O. lists up to six online players. Murky Divers lists a large submarine for five to eight. Confirm the mode and each person's platform before anyone pays.

Is Content Warning free? No. Its US Steam price was $7.99 on September 28, 2026. An old giveaway or temporary discount is not its current standing price.

Can we play these alternatives locally on one screen? Do not assume so. The checked Steam listings explicitly show online co-op and do not explicitly list shared or split-screen co-op. Verify each game's current feature list if couch play is required.
