Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit. (feddit.nl)

Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.

how did couch co-op on steam deck take this long to become an idea?

Well I most play single player. When I do play with others, it's usually from our respective homes. But my brother found himself in town and we both wanted to play and that forced me to think about how we could both do that.

Did you never consider the steam deck's biggest selling point (mobility)?

I did. I play it all over the house and even at my office sometimes.

Downvote me for being mean

Okay.

couch co-op is something a game has to implement, not the console. You could do that over with a dedicated pc where all the steam decks remote steam play on it and boom you have 4 remote controllers ( Untested because i dont have so many friends with steamdeck )
