Questions about Co-op and controller.

[C0deL1zard7]

I was wondering, if I wanted to play with a friend via remote play, would I need to play using a controller, or would both of us need a controller, or could we both use keyboard and mouse to play? I was also wondering if the person I wanted to play with had to have the game to join, (probably yes.) and how exactly remote play would work in this case.

About local Co-op, would both players need a controller, or could it be one person using a controller, and one person using keyboard and mouse? I am not sure what to expect about the local and remote play, but I am only wondering about controller requirements.

With the controller, I have honestly never used a game controller before, and was wondering about what kind of controller to use for this game. I'm looking for a controller that is not too expensive and is perfect for any PC game. If anyone has any recommendations, please answer, because again, I am not sure what to expect about remote/co-op or controller play.

That's all pretty much, i hope that someone can at least help me out with this sort of stuff, Ill come back to check this discussion page later.

For Steam Remote Play Together, only one copy of the game is required. One player may use the keyboard and mouse, but the other player must use a controller.
As to how Remote Play works, imagine your screen being streamed to your friend's computer in real time. In all intent and purpose, it is a 'local co-op' experience except that your friend is seeing whatever you are seeing on his device.

Local Co-op works the exact same way. One player may use the keyboard and mouse, but the other player must use a controller.

As for controller, you can't go wrong with either an Xbox controller or a PS5 controller! :)

Thank you so much! I have been looking forward to playing with friends and I am glad to know that I don't need a specific controller for most games! I cant wait to play with my friends on this game, thank you!

there's ways to use the keyboard as a "xbox controller" i've done it a few times on "controller ONLY" games
on controller choice, i like using a ps4 gamepad, using software like DS4windows, it can act as a "xbox controller" in other words works on everything, you can even use the touchpad for things, (it can be the mouse!)

I got 2 Xbox controllers, in game open co-op option, But 2 controllers control the same character. How can I play with 2 controllers?

Open player start the game in local co-op mode, then in the wait screen(NOTICE: 1st player must avoid touching anything here), the 2nd player can press any key of his/her controller to join the game.
