  1. Would screen sharing for online local multiplayer ever be possible ?


    just wondering as some of my favourite games have much better offerings when it comes to their local multiplayer modes, while the online modes are barebones in comparison.

    we’ve already seen online local play work on Playstation with Screenshare and on PC with Steam, as well as apps like Parsec.

    so it has me wondering if an Xbox equivalent could be possible with the use of the cloud technology, or perhaps even without cloud tech?

    anyone who knows a little more than I do, I’d love to hear if it’s possible !

    Xbox Live not available

    Online multiplayer yes - local multiplayer would not require a Gold Sub, like split-screen/ system link.

    Xbox one split screen???

    You'll want to make sure the games you're trying to play do offer local co-op (split screen) and not just online multiplayer. In the game itself you'll also want to make sure you are choosing the correct settings for local multiplayer and not online. I'm not sure if there is a list of all of the split screen games. There are several lists out there ranking some of the best.

    360 games would work the same way.

    Anyone else fed up of games forcing multi-player down our throats?

    Galactic geek are you saying certain games shouldn't have Multiplayer, Cooperative Multiplayer, Competitive Multiplayer, Team-Based Competitive Mutliplayer, Local Multiplayer, Online Multiplayer, Split-Screen multiplayer, Same-Screen Multiplayer, Turn-Based
    multiplayer, or LAN Party multiplayer. Please clarify.

    Satsumo, you're not being very logical, IMO, and I'm not quite sure you're actually following what it is that I'm saying (or perhaps I'm just having trouble following you).

    In any case, to that end, I'm going to try to break it down for you:

    Single-player = a game you play by yourself.

    Multiplayer = a game you play with others.

    Campaign = Story-based game mode. Usually single-player, but not always, as evidenced by co-op (e.g., Gears of War) and competitive multiplayer (e.g., Titanfall).

    Cooperative Multiplayer = a multiplayer game or game mode where you work together.

    Competitive Multiplayer = a multiplayer game mode where you go up against another player (e.g., fighting games) or players (e.g., first-person shooters).

    Team-Based Competitive Mutliplayer = a multiplayer game mode where some players are allies and other players are enemies (e.g., Call of Duty).

    Local Multiplayer = a multiplayer game on 1 console.

    Online Multiplayer = a multiplayer game that occurs online and requires an Internet connection.

    Split-Screen multiplayer = a multiplayer game variation where players share a single TV by splitting the screen; typically used for local multiplayer, but can also be used online as well in many cases (e.g., Halo).

    Same-Screen Multiplayer = a multiplayer game variation where players share the same screen without any actual splitting of the screen (e.g., Rayman Legends).

    Turn-Based multiplayer = a multiplayer game variation where players take turns (e.g., Magic Duels of the Planeswalkers, Worms Battlegrounds, and Pinball FX 2). Also known as "hot-seat" multiplayer.

    LAN Party = a multiplayer game that takes place over a network (LAN = local area network), but not online. A pseudo-bridge of sorts between local and online play.

    As you can see, there are clear differences. Single-player and multiplayer are
    NOT mutually exclusive to online or offline play or campaign-based game modes. A campaign can be online or offline and can be single-player or multiplayer. In addition, a mutlplayer game mode can be online or offline and can
    be cooperative or competitive or even both.

    Many people seem to get confused thinking that campaign
    HAS to involve single-player, that multiplayer
    HAS to involve online play or competitive multiplayer, or that a cooperative game mode
    HAS to be a part of campaign.
    ALL of these lines of thinking are, to put it bluntly,
    WRONG.

    Xbox Series X Couch Multiplayer on two TVs?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Rahul

    Nope, that's not possible. The only way to do that is having two Xbox consoles and use local multiplayer.

    Besides that the option is share the screen.
