NVIDIA dropped-maybe-disrupting-waters-in the Co-op sphere and maybe in retrofitting setups-well, #GeForceSummer giveaway has pitted participants so that a lucky one can have an ROG Strix Scar 16 with mighty GeForce RTX 5080 loaded inside it. Make no mistake: This is a very rare giveaway, for the winner has been allowed to purchase two units: one for himself and one for a friend with whom he may share the excitement. All they want you to do is name the co-op game you would play first.

Hence, the answer: utter mayhem.The gamers filled the replies with anything and everything-from timeless classics Left 4 Dead and Borderlands 2 to giant upcoming titles such as Monster Hunter Worlds and Arc Raiders to little ones such as PHOGS and Popcom to prove that co-op is very much alive. Honestly, who would not want to bash through Gears 5 Horde mode or go very deep into Helldivers 2 with this fully loaded rig?

But, the real competitor for the spotlight? Split Fiction. It almost seems like the entire internet collectively mounted a campaign to crown it as the ultimate co-op experience with all the mentions it got in the replies. Parent-and-kid teams, or that classic old partners-in-crime kinda-gaming duo—you know Split Fiction is the undisclosed hit of the moment.

While fodder for some love was being thrown at the usual suspects, others went with Fortnite, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, or-than maybe some of these options are better-Star Citizen. Then there was the guy who went for PUBG because he “didn’t play anything else.” Respect for the forthrightness.

But NVIDIA-Not just about hardware-wants to remind us of how cooperative gaming truly ties men and women together. Be that grinding out Risk of Rain 2 until the frame rates drop or Caveman laughter through Chained Together; it’s special for friends and co-op gaming.

So if you haven’t thrown your hat in the ring yet, what are you waiting for? It’s one great ROG Strix Scar 16 to have, and winning one for yourself and a second for your friends can only usher in extraordinary sessions. But do not forget to sling on that #GeForceSummer tag; you won’t want to miss out on all that glory powered by RTX.

And hey, even if you don’t win, maybe this whole thing will inspire you to boot up an old co-op favorite. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the hardware—it’s about the memories you make while screaming at your friends over voice chat.
