The fun that comes from playing video games is at it’s peak when you get to play together with friends. While Steam makes games accessible and offers some community and networking features, using the platform for a multiplayer is quite accessible.
I bet you didn’t know the Remote Play Together feature changes that. Want to game with some friends? Just use Remote Play Together.
What Is Remote Play Together?
Remote Play Together is on the feature current under Steam, which allows you to play multiplayer games with other Steam users, even if not all the Steam users own the game, or even have it downloaded.
The Remote Play ecosystem has been under development since 2019, and a feature that expanded Play Together to users that didn’t have Steam accounts became available in the Steam Client Beta in 2021. Although the feature didn’t stay in beta for long and is currently available to Steam user.
What Can Remote Play Together Be Used For?
You can now invite your Steam friends to play particular multiplayer games with you, even if they don’t own that game on Steam or have it installed on their device. The Remote Play Together feature takes this one step further by allowing users to play together on one player’s owned copy of the game without all the players being in the same shared physical space.
Games Available for Remote Play Together
Like I said earlier, it’s not available for all multiplayer games, but but “thousands” of titles already are, according to Valve, the company behind Steam.
Popular compatible titles include:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops III
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Human Fall Flat

Who Can You Remote Play Together With?
Of all the features that Steam offers users, Remote Play Together might be one of the coolest. The feature is likely to become a more prominent part of the Steam platform, and the number of titles that work with the feature is expanding. Now you have to choice but to play together.
