Now in Beta! With Remote Play Together, you can now invite Steam Friends to join your local co-op, local multiplayer, and shared/split screen games online. Up to four players,or even more in ideal conditions, can instantly join in the fun. Only the host needs to own and install the game, while additional players connect through Steam Remote Play streaming technology.

Then launch any of your local multiplayer games.

From your Friends list in the Steam Overlay, select Remote Play Together. Once they accept...


Their controllers will act as if they're plugged directly into your computer, and all your voice chat and game volume options are available in one place.

To keep things simple, only the game is displayed to your Friends, never your desktop or other Top Secret stuff. You can share — or limit access to — the keyboard and mouse. It’s your choice.

• Play local multiplayer games with Steam Friends online
  
• Stream video, audio, input, and voice between players
  
• Use your own controllers, or share control of the keyboard & mouse
  
• Play together across PC, Mac, and Linux

During the Beta we'll be improving network stability and compatibility across a variety of hardware. We're excited to hear feedback from you in our Discussion Forums.

So check out Steam's growing list of thousands of supported titles, and help us test when you invite a friend to Play Together today!
