Remote Play Together Games on Steam

Remote Play Together is the most underused feature on Steam. The host runs a local multiplayer game and streams it to friends, who join with their own controllers — and crucially, only the host needs to own the game. It turns the entire couch co-op catalogue into something you can play from different cities.

What to check before you commit

  • Only the host needs a copy. This is the one category where a comparison isn't strictly necessary — one person owning it is enough.
  • It's a video stream, so it's sensitive to the host's upload bandwidth and to latency. Fine for party games and platformers; frustrating for anything demanding precise timing.
  • Up to four players is typical, though some games support more.
