Steam Remote Play Together streams a local multiplayer game to friends online, and only the host needs to own it. That makes couch co-op classics playable with friends who are far away. These are some of the best games to try it with.
1. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
A randomly generated action RPG shooter with heavy roguelike elements. Isaac finds bizarre treasures that change his form and powers as he fights through droves of creatures. Local co-op lets a friend join the run, which Remote Play Together brings online.

2. Cuphead
A classic run-and-gun action game focused on boss fights, with hand-drawn animation and jazz recordings in the style of 1930s cartoons. Its local co-op is famous for being hard, so expect many retries, and much shouting, with a friend.

3. Castle Crashers®
An award-winning 2D arcade adventure where you hack, slash and smash your way through a fantasy kingdom. Up to four knights fight together, and it plays online as well as through Remote Play Together. Simple controls make it great for mixed groups.

4. Overcooked! 2
Chaotic co-op cooking for up to four players, in couch co-op or online. Kitchens move, split and catch fire, and only clear communication keeps the orders going out. A test of friendships in the best way.

5. Enter the Gungeon
A bullet hell dungeon crawler about a band of misfits looking for a gun that can kill the past. You shoot, loot, dodge roll and flip tables through randomized floors. A second player can join as the Cultist in local co-op, so Remote Play Together brings that online.

6. Human Fall Flat
A light-hearted physics platformer set in floating dreamscapes, playable solo or with up to eight players online. Wobbly controls turn simple puzzles into slapstick, which is half the fun with friends.

7. BattleBlock Theater®
A platformer where you jump, solve and battle your way through a mysterious theater run by cats, to free your friends and save Hatty Hattington. The co-op mode is full of moments where you can help, or betray, your partner.
