Co-op has its own card in mode selection.
CO-OP sits as a wide row beneath Arcade, Track and Orbit. One click and player 2 is already in the loadout screen — nobody has to find a join button anymore. With one controller, player 2 gets the controller and player 1 keeps keyboard + mouse; with two controllers, player 2 takes the second one. If none is connected yet, the co-op row waits, and player 2 joins as soon as a controller reports a button press.
- The regular Arcade card stays a solo game in which you can still team up via “Join”.
- Track and Orbit point to the new card in their co-op row.
