Online Multiplayer

It's now even easier to play with your friends remotely with our new peer-to-peer online multiplayer feature.

To use it, select "Online" from the main menu. From there you can either host a game that your friends can join, or join a game your friend is hosting. This feature is tightly integrated with Steam, so you can easily join your friends’ games through “friends & chat” and Steam invites.
