My Ultimate 2026 Labor Day Gaming Picks: Squad Goals & Chaotic Co-op Fun on Xbox!

Labor Day weekend is finally here again! 🎉 For me, that doesn't just mean one last summer BBQ—it's the ultimate signal to gather the crew, power up the Xbox Series X/S, and dive headfirst into a marathon gaming session. Honestly, what better way to send off the summer vibes than with teamwork, communication, and just the right amount of absolute chaos? Forget the beach and the kitchen, the difficulty and the timing of the holiday weekend is the perfect excuse to load up on squad-based or co-op titles that turn lazy days into a string of unforgettable, laugh-out-loud (or scream-in-frustration) moments with your favorite people.

I've got a killer lineup of games that are guaranteed to make this Labor Day one for the books. Whether you're strategizing through intergalactic warfare or frantically trying to save a virtual kitchen from burning down, these picks have got you covered. Let's get into it!

My Top Picks for Squad Mayhem & Cooperative Brilliance

1. Helldivers 2: Managed Democracy Has Never Been This Fun (or Chaotic!) 🪐

Can you believe it? Helldivers 2 finally touched down on Xbox Series X/S earlier this year, and let me tell you, the timing couldn't be more perfect for a holiday weekend full of beautiful, beautiful chaos. 🤯 If you and your friends thrive on relentless, squad-focused firefights where teamwork is literally a matter of life and death (and also accidentally shooting each other), this is your game.

You're on the frontlines of an intergalactic war, spreading "managed democracy" across the galaxy one bullet, airstrike, and... yes, one accidental team kill at a time. The best part? To celebrate its Xbox debut, the game launched with an incredible Halo 3: ODST-themed warbond! 🎖️ It's such a perfect nod to Xbox's roots and the coolest way to gear up before diving into the fight. So, ready to trade barbecue smoke for battlefield explosions? Gear up, soldier, and let's show the galaxy what Super Earth is made of!

Why it's a perfect Labor Day pick:

• Unmatched squad-based chaos and camaraderie.

• The Halo ODST gear is a nostalgia trip and looks awesome.

• Nothing says "bonding" like strategizing together and then accidentally calling an airstrike on your best friend.
