A Way Out

Site Focus

A Way Out is a co-op-only story adventure, and most player friction falls into three buckets: whether Friend Pass and online setup are ready, how both players split duties in split-screen scenes, and how to clean up mini-games or achievements after the first clear. This hub is now a practical duo route library instead of a thin scaffold.
