How can I play the same game with my daughter on 2 different tablets in co-op mode? My daughter use stadia with family sharing.
Game shared through family sharing can't be played on two accounts at the same time, the only way to play online co-op in two different accounts in the same game is to have 2 copies of the game, you can, however, play local co-op in games that support it.
With family share, you can play the games in the library of the sharer, but not at the same time, if you have 3 games, you can play One game on one account and One of the remaining games on the other, because you have only one license per games and you are sharing those, imagine having physical copies of the game, if you insert a disc in a console, you can't play the same game at the same time on another console, the same applies for the family share
To better explain if you have the following games
and you start playing Gylt in one account, the remaining account can choose between Pacman and Humans falls flat, moreover, if a family account starts playing Pacman, a third family account can only access Humans falls flat until the others account close either Gylt or Pacman.
So the short answer is, if you want to play on two different devices at the same time you need to have two copies of the same game by purchasing it twice as you said.
Family sharing means you can share your games with other members but you are only allowed to play that much instances of the game that are bought.
So for example if you buy a game other members can play the game if nobody is already playing it.
If you want to play that game with more than 1 member you have to buy multiple copies.
So in this case you have to buy the game also for your kid or any other member in the family.
It's easy, the family member in your group must purchase the game themselves through the Stadia Store
Then you can also play together ![]()
