You can easily remote play LEGO games on Steam with a friend using Steam's Remote Play Together feature, which allows you to share your local co-op game with online friends.
Understanding Steam Remote Play Together
Steam Remote Play Together enables you to invite a friend to join your game session online, even if they don't own the game themselves. It essentially streams your game to their device, and their input is sent back to your computer. This makes it perfect for playing your favorite LEGO titles with a friend, as most LEGO games offer local co-op.
Step-by-Step Guide to Remote Playing LEGO Games
Follow these simple steps to invite a friend to remote play your LEGO game on Steam:
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Launch Your Game | Start the specific LEGO game you wish to play remotely from your Steam Library. Ensure it is running smoothly on your system. |
| 2. | Friend's Readiness | Before inviting, make sure your friend is logged into Steam from a supported device. This can include a PC, Mac, Linux machine, Steam Deck, or even a Steam Link hardware/app. |
| 3. | Open Steam Overlay | While you are in-game, press Shift + Tab on your keyboard to bring up the Steam Overlay. This overlay provides access to your friends list and other Steam features. |
| 4. | Invite Your Friend | From your Friends List within the Steam Overlay, locate the friend you want to invite. Right-click on their name and select 'Remote Play Together' from the context menu. |
| 5. | Friend Joins Session | Your selected friend will receive an invitation to join your game. Once they accept the invite, they will be automatically connected and in-game with you, ready to play. |
Once connected, your friend will see your game on their screen and can use their own controller or keyboard/mouse (as configured by you) to play alongside you, just as if they were sitting next to you.
