Game Specific Q&A
1. How does co-op work in the game?
In Little Nightmares III, coop is online, you will therefore need an internet connection.
In order to allow the most people to play the game in co-op, we’ll include at launch a Friend’s Pass on the different platforms where it’s possible. Thanks to the Friend’s Pass, only one copy of the game is required to enjoy Little Nightmares III with a friend.
When starting the game in co-op it needs to be finished in co-op with the same two players as you can’t go from solo to co-op and vice-versa in the same save. You can however start a new save with another friend or in solo! Players will have up to 8 saves.
2. How does the Free Trial & Friend's Pass work?
- One or two players can experience the beginning of Little Nightmares III for free, even without owning the game. Each player simply needs to download the Free Trial & Friend’s Pass. If they choose to play together, both must be on the same platform and invite each other online. Should one player purchase the full game, progress made during the Free Trial will carry over, allowing both to continue seamlessly. With one unlocked copy, the entire campaign can be completed in online co-op on the same platform.
- The Free Trial & Friend’s Pass also lets you play the full game together online on the same platform: one player owns the full version, while the other just needs to download the Free Trial & Friend’s Pass to join.
3. Is Online co-op cross platform?
Despite our efforts, cross-gen gameplay will not be available at launch, we’re still considering adding it but can’t share more at this stage. Cross-platform between different manufacturers will not be supported. More info on this feature will be shared at a later date.

6. Why have you decided to release Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition?
After 8 years, we wanted to update the game to 2025 standards, letting players relive the story of Six trying to escape The Maw.
7. What types of changes have been made?
Several changes have been made - visual effects have been improved, including RTX reflections, water effects, more particles and volumetric shadows – to adapt the game to today’s standard. We’ve also included some additional helpers for an overall better experience, such as more checkpoints and tutorials, reduced loading times - all while keeping the game true to the original version’s DNA.
