Hello
I have 2 XBox Controllers connected to my PC
I'm not good at search so i need your suggestions on good games for local multiplayer can be played with controllers

I'd Suggest searching through the "Shared/Split Screen Co-op" category of Steam's Store:
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=39


Or Optionally, "Shared/Split Screen PvP" category of Steam's Store:
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=39

Yeah, first you need to find games that allow multiple players on the same computer.

Then, you'll probably have ask around in the forums for said games to find out whether they support multiple controllers.

It's still a bit complicated but thanks, really appreciate your help.
I'll try to get used to it.

Some games I got before same way, with local multiplayer and all.
But when you download the game its different.
They actually mean both controllers control one character which is not ideal.

the ring-light on the xbox controller has a meaning.
upper left. 1st controller.
upper right. 2nd controller.
etc

if both are upper left then both are the first controller. you have to replug one while holding the home button. then it will not be registered as player one but a non-occupied higher player number

"local multiplayer" is a user tag. means it is partly crowdsourced by idiots like us. so it might be inaccurate but by definition local multiplayer also includes things like csgo, which you can play in LAN, which is local multiplayer. user tags also do no count as false advertising.

the shared/split screen feature tag is a better indicator for what you look for. that is set by the product owner. wrongly set, this might be false advertising f.e. if #nomansbuy had multiplayer listed there, then the ASA would have charged them with false advertising. so, feature tags are way more accurate.

usually the games store page should mostly include information how a game is played in those conditions.
if you are unsure, just ask in the games board (hub of game -> discussion)
that is also the place to ask if you encounter errors and possible bugs.

Assuming he's using Xbox 360 Controllers and ring-light order wouldn't really matter unless the controllers were colored like blue for guys and pink for gals, if that color wasn't an issue, they could simply swap controllers.

What's probably going to blow OP's stack are the Xbox One wireless controllers, do I have Bluetooth version that needs to pair with my PC? If it's not pairing with my Windows 10, where is the Xbox gamebar settings? Do I need the wireless adapter? I'm on Windows 7? :D


For OP, I'd ditch video games altogether, take your sexy beastie-self and better-half to a local pub and play pool there or, if you have Dave & Busters nearby, go there.

You are absolutely correct alot of games have been tagged wrongfully which cause alot of misconceptions
You've just discriped my problem with words 👍🏽

Local multiplayer should be referred for playing offline together with the same device.

I've purchased human fall flat recently.. To be honest I got scared when I couldn't find how to play with multiplayer.
I thought I was a victim for false tag
Till I found it on the bottom of the screen press = to join
I was relieved. 😃

I was able to accomplish local couch coop with an XBox Core Controller + 8BitDo Pro 2... I posted the instructions here: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/4362373157497784913/
