Conveniently, voice chat and game volume options are available in one place. With Steam Remote Play Together, you can stream video, audio, and voice-only the game is displayed, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally sharing your desktop. You can check out our article for more details on what local co-op is and how it works. Games can be played locally, for example using a split screen function. Local co-op, often dubbed couch co-op, is basically a multiplayer mode that is offline. Steam Remote Play serves two main purposes: to enable online multiplayer for games which only support local co-op and to join a game you don’t own yourself, shared from one host computer. This function enables cross-platform play across Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. Steam Remote Play Together allows you to share local multiplayer games with friends over the internet. Bummer. But what if we told you it doesn’t have to end that way? Thanks to Steam Remote Play Together (and a good internet connection, we won’t lie) you can play with your friends no matter where they are.
You’ve planned some great, couch co-op time with your friends, but rain (or, I dunno, a global pandemic) keeps everyone at home. Imagine you’re spending the weekend at home.
