You can now play your local multiplayer Steam games online with friends
Steam's previously reported Remote Play Together feature, which makes it possible for friends to play local multiplayer games together online, is now available in beta form.
According to a new Steam blog post, Remote Play Together works with any game that supports local co-op, local multiplayer, or shared/split screen functionality, and works with up to four players - although Valve notes that more players might be possible "in ideal conditions".
To get involved in the beta, interested parties will first need to join Steam's beta branch and download the latest build. Next, it's simply a matter of launching any supported local multiplayer game, then inviting a friend via the Steam Overlay (friends don't need to own the game themselves), using the Remote Play Together option. And that's it!
