Since October 21st, 2019, you can join Steam’s Beta of their new feature Remote Play Together. This feature allows you to invite your Steam Friends to play local co-op, local multiplayer, and shared/split screen games online! This means two things: that you don’t need friends to be physically present in your home, and that every player will have access to their own computer screen and mouse/keyboard/controllers!
This feature gets even better because only the host of Steam’s Remote Play Together needs a copy of the game! No more having to buy your friends the same Steam game just to be able to play together! Furthermore, don’t worry if you have a Mac, Linux or PC because this streaming service is cross-platform.
The process for setting up this feature is very simple with the details laid out here. Moreover, Valve has specifically pointed out that players will have access to the host’s controller inputs, voice chat volume and game screen but not the host’s desktop. To join the Beta now you can go here.
Valve is currently working on improving network stability, compatibility across a variety of hardware, and adding more games to their growing list of supported titles. You can check out the thousands of games here. If you want to know if a specific game is supported, look for this new tag above!
To help get you started, I recommend the following wholesome, potato-approved games:
I’m now a Steam Curator so you can find all of my recommended Steam games here! Let’s be Steam Friends! Also, if you have any recommendations, I’d like to hear them!

GolfTopia is a different kind of golf game, it focuses less on actually playing golf but rather make other people play golf for you.
GolfTopia is a building and simulation game where you create your very own golf course from the ground up. The building and game mechanics from the first and early look of the game gave me Roller Coaster Tycoon vibes, which is amazing!
GolfTopia promises a great deal of easy to use tools to customize and build your park. Taking a closer look at the first GolfTopia trailer ( watch it below! ) the tools shown to terraform land are very similar to games like The Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon, which are titles known to make creating fun and effortless.
As you create your park you need to make sure your visitors are having a good time. Create unique and challenging golf courses set in a retro-futuristic environment. Hoverboards and compression slides are all part of the fun.
Golf courses are traditionally set in a lush environment with vibrant green color tones. As you continue to expand your parks you will notice weeds starting to crawl up on you. Cutting down unwanted weeds is an important step to keep the park neat and golf players happy, as growing weeds can break the stuff you build!
GolfTopia is currently scheduled for a release on Steam in Q1 of 2020. I will make sure to keep an eye on this unique golf building game! For more golf fun, check out Golf Story, the Stardew Valley of Golf!

If, like us, you are totally into getting down with some minigolf on occasion, then join us as we give away free copies of Infinite Minigolf! Virtual minigolf is an excellent way to pass the time when you need a break from the grind! Putting around a whimsical course is always a sure way to relieve the stress of the day-to-day! We certainly enjoy all the interesting twists and turns that are featured in this wonderful game!
Like most “eSports” titles, you begin the game in character creation. As per the usual, most things are unlocked through gameplay. Often-times this can be a bit tedious, but with the simplicity of play-style, and initially basic design of the courses, you will find yourself decked out in decent threads in no time!
Win a few beginner tournaments and you already start accumulating charming animal tees, as well as unlock cards for lots of cute cosmetics adorable accessories. Basically everything about the game is customizable, making it a personal experience while still being super chill.
Not only does this title have online capability, but you can even create your own minigolf courses to challenge your friends. There all sorts of different items and obstacles to add to your course, from lackadaisical pirates to timid Yetis! There are also power-ups, such as rocket boosts and spring pads, to help make each course just that much more difficult or confusing.
The different traps and power-ups can also just seem daunting, with the course still easily completed in one shot! There are literally endless combinations and alterations to make your own course a reflection of your own inner confusion and turmoil (or solidity and peace)!
If all this minigolf madness sounds like fun to you, then join us in playing! We have six total copies of this title to share (3 for Nintendo Switch and 3 Steam codes) with our fans, and would love to see what you’ve got when it comes to course creation, or maybe just some competitive comradery.
For a chance to claim a code for yourself, simply comment on this post that you would like to join, and earn 25 Tater-tots (learn everything you need to know about tater-tots by clicking here) between now and Monday, the 13th of May. Good Luck to all, and we can’t wait to see you on the courses!!
If you aren’t a big fan of leaving things up to chance, you may purchase your very own copy of Infinite Minigolf for Nintendo Switch by clicking here, or on Steam by clicking here!
