Hi,
Any one know of any plans to be able to share/host local co-op games so only one person needs to host their copy of the game and others can join without having to own a copy, basically something like Steam's Remote Play Together? Bought a few games hoping something like this would exist down the line.
Hi there! Thanks for compiling this feedback for us. The best way to get your ideas in front of the Stadia team is to submit this as feedback within the Stadia app. To find this, open the Stadia app on your mobile device, then tap your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. From there, navigate to the "Feedback" button below. Make sure to be as descriptive as possible. Thanks again!
This is the perfect feature to highlight the power and potential of cloud streaming platforms like Stadia.
Don't think that is going to happen because the other gamers use their own account.
You should have a license for both copies you are trying to play. Only of a publisher specifically want to support Google Stadia Family...
The way you are describing it the other player uses the same account? If that is the case Google needs to support account sharing... I don't think it is going to happen.
No, I wasn't thinking account sharing. Are you familiar with Steam Remote Play Together? Basically one person hosts their game and invites other people to play, the only option for the other people is to play multi-player with the host and only while the owner is hosting the game session; no host, no access. Depending on where one may live during the pandemic, having people over to play couch co-op hasn't been a good, or even available, option.
It'll be great if a developer could confirm one way or another, certain games I only like playing with other people I know IRL, and it's not worth 4+ people all to drop money just to play one or two sessions.
Ah no... didn't know about this option.
That is a sweet option to use!
Still don't think that is going to happen on Stadia any time soon.
Because when using the Steam you are using your own hardware (compute) and with Stadia it has to provide you multiple Stadia instances which costs money.
But please let me encourage you to explain this functionality and send it to Google through the Stadia App.
Go to Explore and scroll down and tap on Send feedback. This is a neat feature indeed!
