Remote Play Together

Remote Play Together revolutionizes cooperative gaming by allowing you to invite friends to join and play local co-op games online, even if they don't own the game themselves, essentially turning any local multiplayer experience into an online multiplayer session through Steam's streaming technology. When you host a Remote Play Together session, your computer runs the game while your friends connect through Steam and receive the video stream while sending their controller inputs back to your system, creating the experience of sitting on the same couch playing together despite being physically separated by any distance. This feature opens up countless gaming possibilities by eliminating the barrier of requiring all players to purchase the same games, making it perfect for trying out new co-op titles with friends, playing party games during virtual hangouts, or revisiting classic local multiplayer experiences that were never designed for online play. The system supports multiple simultaneous players depending on the game, with each participant able to use their preferred input method whether that's keyboard and mouse, various controller types, or even mobile touch controls through the Steam Link app. Remote Play Together is particularly magical for family gaming sessions, long-distance friendships, and discovering hidden co-op gems in your library that suddenly become accessible to your entire friend group. The feature maintains the intimate, collaborative spirit of local co-op gaming while extending it across any distance, creating shared gaming memories and allowing you to be the generous friend who shares great games with others while building stronger connections through cooperative play experiences.
