Does this game support family sharing?
Asking for a friend who is in turkey currently.

I dont think you can play multiplayer with eachother with 1 game but as long as you follow the rules of steam you can share.

At least from my understanding, every game supports family-sharing, as long as the developer doesn't opt-out (disables it), which they usually announce. All cases that I know of, which aren't many, made a seperate announcement for it. Might be worth to check the anouncement-titles and see if you can find something. I personally don't think that (or see a reason why) they would disable it. I'm quite sure that it works, but I haven't tested it.

I think you probably *can* use Steam's Remote Play together feature to play coop on one copy, as long as you're okay with it being split screen. You could in Divinity 2 anyway.

*Play game in offline mode, other uses family share, use direct ip connect.

Sorry to clarify, with this workaround and direct IP connection, do you think you can play with 1 copy only in split screen mode or also both players having a full screen?

Baldur’s Gate 3 split-screen is available at launch on PC and PS5, allowing up to two players to play the entire game together in local couch co-op multiplayer. The remaining two party members will be filled by companions.

As of right now, I can't seem to play BG3 over library share, can anyone else confirm?
Jireto Aug 4, 2023 @ 10:12am

RamzaBehoulve Aug 4, 2023 @ 10:13am 
Works fine for me.

I see no "Exclude from library sharing=yes " on steamdb so yes, you can

Does anyone have clarification on this:

If I only have 1 copy of the game. Can I via Family Sharing somehow remotely play with a friend? Either by emulating a local co-op (not optimal but potentially acceptable) or actual online session where everyone has a full screen available?

Tried to do the family sharing with my Wife, wasnt showing up, we restarted her Steam and then it showed again. Worth checking if you need to restart steam.
