This allows you to turn a couch co-op game into one you can play remotely. Parsec bypasses the restriction of local-only multiplayer by streaming your game to friends online. But platformers, some indie titles, and older couch co-op games often only have local multiplayer built-in. Many local co-op games offer an online multiplayer mode through clients like Steam. Online multiplayer became popular through FPS games such as the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises, but also the dawn of MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft. Online multiplayer means that people play on different devices, often in different locations. They will then be able to control everything on that console with the controller that is connected to the Xbox App. Then, the person connected via the App will Remote Play into the far away console. Players either share a view or play in a split-screen mode. One person has to be at the xbox, the other person must connect to it via Xbox App (Android, iOS, PC, or web).
