I’m looking for some fun PC games I can play with my wife/nephews. I’m therefore looking for PC games that support split screen with controller support. Any genre, but preferably games that can be played by someone no older than 12. Will be playing them on a ROG Ally connected to a TV with xbox controllers. Interested in any genre.

Screencheat if you want a game to “pick up and play”. It’s a shooter with different modes where everyone is invisible and you must look at the other players split screen to deduce where they are and shoot them. It’s really fun to play!
That sounds like it would drive my wife crazy 🤣
Ultimate Chicken Horse needs to be on this list. It’s a competitive platformer where before each round, everyone adds a piece to the level. You need to make it hard enough that someone doesn’t finish, but easy enough that you finish. If everyone finishes, no one gets points.
Very fun, possibly my favorite couch game.
Seconded, I love UCH so much. One of my favorite multiplayer games, I’ve never had anything but a great time with it.
I really like PlateUp. It’s like a better overcooked where you get to design and upgrade your kitchen/restaurant as you go.
My wife and son loved Wobbly Life. I’ve seen it described as GTA for people who aren’t old enough to play GTA. The couch co-op is solid and they only ever played with controllers.
Wobbly Life looks great! Will definitely be checking out that one.
My SO and I love playing outward! Great co op rpg

*Haven’t played Towerfall before, but it had a lot of buzz going on about it when it came out.
**Not sure if Toejam and Earl is actually good, too much nostalgia clouding my judgment.
It takes two and a way out are both great
Party Animals “should” be finally coming out this September. Buddies and I had a blast when it was in open beta. Similar idea to Gang Beasts.
Another fun one is Human Fall Flat which has some quirky controls.
My partner and I are huge fans of Boomerang Fu, and have enjoyed it with a couple of friends too - it’s same-screen local co-op so hope that still works. Very easy to pick up, and lots of fun!
Boomerangfu isn’t splitscreen, it’s one screen, but it’s still local multiplayer with controller support
Yeah, specifying split screen was probably a mistake. I meant local multiplayer :).
Well, if simple multiplayer is fine, then also check out Grounded.
I think Rocket League supports split screen. It’s really fun for all ages too.
Same-screen, but: PlateUp!
Ultimate Chicken Horse is a really fun party game!
I think Guacamelee hasn’t been mentioned yet.
There are also a lot of amazing Lego games that are fun for all ages. I really enjoyed Lego Lord of the Rings myself
Children of Morta is great for coop, it’s a hack and slash game so anyone can play it really.
