PC Couch Co-Op

[MCMunroe]

I have been hearing recently that PC's can now have Co-Op on one screen with Multiple controllers. This is exactly what I have been wanting.
However my searches for the specifics only finds very old info or just lists of games with Co-Op.
Specifically how do I implement couch Co-Op on the PC?

Only if the game support co-op.

Might you be referring to the Steam Link? it is a device used to stream your pc to your tv so you can play co-op games on your couch. Aside from that you just need a few co-op games, preferably on Steam and as long as you have enough controllers it should work fine.

No No.
Guys, Local Co-Op. One PC, One Screen. Just like consoles used to be known for and PCs didn't used to do.
Limited in links while at work, but here's one.

Some game I saw for Co-op single screen PC are:
Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime


Battle Block Theater is a puzzle adventure game that can be played single player as well as co-op or PVP that costs $14.99.

The core gameplay consists of 2D puzzle platforming where the player must collect gems in a level and then reach the exit. For what sounds simple enough can at times be excruciatingly difficult.

If those games support co-op, all you need is to plug in two controller to your pc.

I bought a second XBOX 360 wireless controller, and I will try it out tonight.

It was just that easy.
Most PC gamers and even the otherwise knowledgeable girl at GameStop didn't know about PC couch co-op. By most, I mean none of my friends, none of my IT co-workers, no one at a GameStop.
