Overcooked! 2

Overcooked! 2 is a cooperative cooking game by Ghost Town Games and Team17. Up to four players chop ingredients, prepare dishes and serve orders under time pressure. The second game adds throwing ingredients and an online co-op mode.

Overcooked! 2 was released on Aug 7, 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. A standalone Nintendo Switch 2 Edition followed on Nov 6, 2025. It supports 4K resolution, 60 frames per second and GameShare, among other features.

The original game runs natively on Windows, macOS and Linux, as well as on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The Switch 2 Edition is a separate native release from November 2025. A PS5 or Xbox Series edition of the single game is not the same as the standalone collection Overcooked! All You Can Eat.

Every order requires ingredients to be fetched, prepared, cooked, plated and served. Work stations and walkways are limited, while new orders keep arriving. In the second game, chefs can throw ingredients across gaps and obstacles. This allows different division of labour than in the previous game, but it does not replace coordinated routines.

The four large add-on packs are called Surf ’n’ Turf, Campfire Cook Off, Night of the Hangry Horde and Carnival of Chaos. They add new kitchens, recipes, chefs and, in some cases, their own gameplay mechanics. For example, Campfire Cook Off introduces portable ingredient backpacks, while Night of the Hangry Horde expands the horde mode with advancing enemies.

For the Windows version, Steam lists a minimum of 4 GB RAM, an Intel i3-2100 or AMD A8-5600K, a GeForce GTX 630 or Radeon HD 6570, and 3 GB of free storage. On Windows, DirectX 11 and a 64-bit system are also required. Team17 lists separate requirements for macOS and Linux.

Overcooked! 2 supports local co-op and online co-op with up to four players. Everyone has to coordinate on tasks and movement to reach a kitchen's point goals. There is also a Versus mode. On PC, Steam additionally lists single player and Remote Play Together.

The settings range from sushi restaurants and magic schools to mines and alien worlds. Moving platforms, teleporters and changing layouts force constant adjustments. Some kitchens temporarily split the team apart. The challenge comes from the layout of the space as much as from the pace of incoming orders.

The campaign returns to the Onion Kingdom. After the events of the previous game, the so-called Unbreads threaten the land. The chefs travel an overworld, unlock new kitchens and must work together in increasingly complicated situations. The story provides the framework for the levels and is not a freely explorable role-playing game at the centre of the experience.

Since Nov 6, 2025, there has been a native Switch 2 version. In TV mode, Nintendo lists 4K resolution at 60 frames per second. It also includes CameraPlay, GameShare and the exclusive Platinum Platypus chef. The edition is sold both as a complete Switch 2 game and as an upgrade pack for owners of the Switch version.

The Gourmet Edition bundles Overcooked! 2 with the four major DLC packs and additional chefs. Team17 lists a total of 130 kitchens and 58 chefs for this bundle. If you already own individual expansions, check which content is included in the specific store version. All You Can Eat is different: it combines both main games in a separate collection.

Alongside the regular campaign kitchens, Overcooked! 2 offers competitive Versus rounds. Free content updates introduced a Survival mode, in which completed orders add extra time. The expansion Night of the Hangry Horde adds horde levels, in which teams cook against advancing enemies. These modes change the goal of the game more than new kitchen decorations do.

Team17 added more kitchens and chefs to the base game through several free updates. These include themed events such as Chinese New Year, Winter Wonderland and the Spring Festival. The new recipes and kitchens are permanent additions to the existing game content and not a requirement for the paid major expansions.
