Hi, I understand you and your wife wanted to try Baldur's Gate 3 in co-op mode. Since you both would need to purchase the game on Steam, the total cost would be around £100. You asked if there’s a way to play co-op without buying two copies each time. I found that some games list remote play together on their Steam store pages, while others don’t have this feature enabled by default. It seems it depends on the developer’s settings or the game’s configuration.

I’ve tried using the family sharing feature, but it seems we can’t both play the same game simultaneously. Did I do something wrong?

Applies only to local co-op titles. Running the game twice grants two licenses.

that's local co-op, that was developer-verified to work trough remote play together.

Steam offers a built-in feature for remote multiplayer. Baldurs Gate 3 supports co-op, though details about split-screen or account-based play are unclear. It seems similar to Dark Souls' cooperative mechanics.

Based on what I found, splitting screens can be tricky. We’d need to either gather around my 32" ultra-wide monitor or use a 92" 1080p projector on the sofa. I’m not sure if you’ve ever used a mouse on a sofa—it’s not very enjoyable, honestly.

There are splitscreen co-op options available, though I’m not sure about using them right now because my setup isn’t ideal. I’d prefer to connect with friends using our own devices and set up a local connection instead of relying on the shared screen feature. I’m not certain it would work smoothly.

Shame Roccat ceased production, but couch keyboards are available. Other manufacturers now offer options. You can also employ various unique controllers for different inputs. This is how I and my friends enjoy gaming. One plays with a keyboard, while the others use three controllers.
