Can you play 2 player when using local remote play via PC.

AmeraTech · Jan 3, 2023

I'm using a series s, connected via the xbox app on a win10 pc on the same local network. Two controllers connected via USB to the PC. However it doesn't seem to allow 2 player. As it's just an image from the main console and windows can support 2 USB controllers, I feel it should work but doesn't seem to.

Unfortunately, the controller's wireless connection isn't strong enough to simply have one of the controllers connected directly to the console.

Is this possible and I'm just missing something?

Hi, I'm Luis a Xbox user just like you. Thanks for reaching out us here. Unfortunately this is not possible. Only one controller's input will be passed to the Xbox you're remote playing on (this also applies to cloud gaming).

What specifically doesn't work? The stream audio or the party audio?

Was that not covered in the OPs post?

"I'm unable to use the microphone on my Steelseries when coneected to my PC using a Remote Streaming session"

"just not when joining a party during a stream."

Seems to me that the OP is playing using the Remote Play function but the Microphone doesn't work when in a party chat whilst using the Remote Play. the Mic works fine when directly connected to the Xbox or used via the Xbox App

There is a way to do remote play via the PC though right? Or can that only be done by mobile?

No this is not answer. All the games tried have local co-op. In cloud gaming the 2nd remote is just not recognized when asked to join (yes both remotes logged in).

Hello frends

This is really disappointed Microsoft when using cloud gaming on Xbox game pass you can play two players in 90% of the games what is the point! Please patch!

It does work for two players when you download the game though. fyi Still I get it what's the point???
