4 player shared screen is supported by both Overcooked 1 and 2.

If you use atleast 2 controllers, you have the option of controlling one or two chefs each.

In my families case, the kids get one controller and one chef each, I'll use a single controller and opt to control two chefs. The wife could play (have two more controllers) but chooses not to.

We primarily use xbox Ones controllers (on a windows PC) and one steam controller.
You could probably use any usb controller however.

Slight note - if you are using the steam links internal wireless support for the steam controller, its over blue tooth so the badnwidth isnt that good if you have all 4 on bluetooth. We end up running 18 foot cables and that helps. If you have the wireless dongle for the xbox controllers then it will use wifi opposed to bluetooth.
