The call friend pass It is a growing trend, and those of us who are passionate about multiplayer games like it more and more. Buddy Pass, Friend Pass, Guest Pass… Every studio and company calls it differently, but the idea is the same: two people can share a game online for free with a single copy of the game. As simple and attractive as it sounds.
An idea that seemed lost until very recently. In fact, titles like Rainbow Six Extraction go a step further by making no distinction between game platforms: you can invite whoever you want to your game regardless of whether they play on PlayStation, Xbox or PC.
Some games, in fact, are entirely designed to share the experience. Absolutely essential titles like A Way Out or It Takes Two must be played in doubles, and their friend pass makes the experience even more special. Especially when playing remotely is the most recommended.
Now, PC players and more specifically Steam players are the ones who take the lion’s share: through the system Remote Play Together One player installs and runs the game, and then up to four players can join the game almost on the fly. Games as fun as Overcooked! and true essentials like Dragon Ball FighterZ and NBA 2K22.
In iGamesNews We have prepared a selection of the best games based on the premise of power share online game with a single copy of the game, the rest is up to you: choose your next match partner wisely or look for rivals who are up to your level.
A Way Out
EA dazzled with A Way Out. A superb story that had to be experienced at two commands yes or yes. Well sharing a sofa or at a distance. The best? With the Friend Pass, all you need is a copy of the game and a good internet connection to experience this unique and fascinating version of The Great Escape in the Josef Fares style.
Civilization VI
the lie of one more turn and i quit What we’ve been doing for more than 30 years with the Civilization series is even less believable when we play with someone else in this terribly addictive conquest of the world by reason or force. And be careful, it’s compatible with Steam’s turn-by-turn notification system.
Cuphead
As fun as it is artistically exquisite, but also extremely difficult. Fortunately, the challenge Cuphead it becomes more bearable with two controls, and Steam’s Remote Play Together is the perfect excuse to reach the end or die two thousand times trying. A thousand for each player, of course.
Dragon Ball FighterZ

DwarfHeim
A real-time strategy game with a special emphasis on the cooperative element. The Friends Pass DwarfHeim allows the owner to invite friends to play cooperative and survival mode completely free. Nothing bad.
Trilogía The Dark Pictures Anthology
One of the best contributions of Man of Medan, Little Hope and House of Ashes is their approach to multiplayer. And the best of all is that with the Friend Pass we have it very easy. Now, here we must take into account a nuance: the case of games of Dark Pictures Anthology we can only do it once, without the possibility of repeating.
It Takes Two
The 2021 Game of the Year (according to the Game Awards) is played exclusively in two-person split-screen co-op. But, as happened with A way Out, your Friend Pass will allow us to invite a friend to play online for free with a single copy with one nuance: there is no cross-play between different platforms. Still, it’s a detail.
Mortal Kombat 11
The most brutal fighting game ever made is beyond reproach, and being part of Steam’s Remote Play Together program further rounds off all its successes. Of course, warn your friend that between kick and combo You will see a lot of blood and viscera, which can lead to an upset.
Left 4 Dead 2
For many years that pass and many substitutes that arrive, Left 4 Dead 2 remains the benchmark for cooperative zombie apocalypse survival. There must be a reason.
NBA 2K22
The ultimate benchmark for basketball in video games has ways to get lost and obsess, but it also opens the door to improvising games on the fly with friends on Steam through Remote Play Together. Basket of three for 2K Games.

Challenging, but also hilarious. Especially, with several players sharing a game. Mossmouth rounds out the value of this highly successful sequel by implementing Remote Play Together in the PC version.
Stardew Valley

Streets of Rage 4
The best way to give continuity to the essence of the classics Beat’em Ups of Mega Drive is on a tube TV and using two SEGA three-button controllers. The second best is sharing a game on PC, and with Remote Play Together the excuses to do so are reduced to zero.
Unravel Two
