What are some good multiplayer games to play on the steam deck? They can be online or offline games.

    I’ve been playing Deep Rock Galactic with my friend. It’s been really fun.

    Works great on deck apart from small text sometimes being a problem.

        I think it works like that anyway by default.
        STEAM + L1.

        Small text is still a pain though.

    What’s the audience and which games do you already like??

    It’s too wide of a net to cast over ALL multiplayer games.

      It’s an open question so feel free to answer how you like. There’s no right or wrong answers.

    Valheim if you want action, building, or relaxing things like chopping wood and breaking rocks. In more of a boardgame direction, there’s Sagrada, Dominion, Takenoko, Carcassonne, Istanbul, or Splendor. All of which I have played on my SD multiplayer. Usually these games end up using the left stick and the right track pad as the mouse, which seems to work fine for me.

    As a local multiplayer/couch coop fan, I really like Gang Beasts, Stick Fight The Game, Untitled Goose Game, Nidhogg (2)

    I like Omega Strikers for my deck. It’s like 3v3 pong with hero abilities.

    Most online games aren’t casual enough for me to enjoy on controller, and even with co-op games I can’t often play on the same level as with KBM.

    Helldivers would work though.

    Stardew Valley, possibly factorio (don’t k ow about the custom control scheme, the game is great), trackmania, borderlands 2, plate up, gang beasts, and the jackbox party games.

      How do you normally get these games up and running in multiplayer? I’m new to steam deck.

        Start the game. Select multiplayer or just start the game and invite friend

      I feel like these games will be better to play on the oled. That 90hz brings an ultimate advantage

      It was something like 18 years ago I spent my entire summer vacation playing PSO, went to bed at 8am and woke up in the evening so I could play with US people as there weren’t enough EU players on schthack.

      Guess it’s time to spin it up once more for old times sake.

    Ultimate Chicken Horse has quickly become the goto-local-multiplayer in my group.

    The game design is so devilishly elegant: you co-create 2D jump&run levels. Together you want to make them so easy that at least one player can finish the level (and get points), but also hard enough that not all of the group get through (no one gets points).

    It’s great. Will most likely be on sale. Don’t sleep on it!

      You can play Mario kart’s multiplayer on the steam deck? How do you enable multiplayer for the capcom arcade classics and TMNT ?

        Yeah, Yuzu has online multiplayer emulation via local WiFi, or you can just do two controllers.

        Shredders Revenge has online and local multiplayer.

        I know Capcom has local, not sure about online.

    Rocket League is a good choice if you’re new to the game, like I was. It works perfectly through heroic if you don’t have it on steam

    Sea of thieves also runs great

    If you mean COOP Story then the Borderlands Games have been a Bladt lately especially Tiny Tina Wonderlands Ultimate(Verified) for 10 bucks.
