Remote Play Together With
Steam

Some games are designed for online play. For those that only have local multiplayer, you can use a feature on Steam called Steam Remote Play Together to play these games with a friend in another place as if they were sat next to you. You can use online chat, pass the controls back and forth or each control different players to cooperate or compete.

Not all games support these features but for those that do, listed here, all you need is one copy of the game for the two of you, an account on Steam and a PC to play on in your separate locations and a good internet connection.

You can also use the Steam Remote Play Anywhere feature to stream your games from your PC to another device like a smartphone or tablet. This enables you to play in a different room of the house or on the go.

This list includes 54 games from the last 19 years, with 886 likes. They come from a range of different genres and play-styles and are all good games if you want to .
