It's time to invite some (more) friends over for a game night, because Hidden in Plain Sight now supports up to 8 local players! I hope you play it, and I would absolutely LOVE to see some 8 player videos.

I hope you play it, and I would absolutely LOVE to see some 8 player videos. I can only imagine the chaos at the end of an eight-player Death Race match!

Some caveats:

  • This is only for Steam (Windows/Mac/Linux) versions of the game. Xbox and Switch remain 4 player.

  • Controllers are still required for each player.

  • I am a solo dev, and it's nearly impossible for me to test every configuration and brand of controllers. However, this has been tested on a variety of controllers by myself and others, so I hope it works well for you (Xbox, Xbox 360, PS4, generic Direct Input, etc have been tested).

  • Generic controllers might not work in Xbox 360 mode. Try switching them to DirectInput mode (usually by holding down a button or some combination of buttons).

  • The original game is available on a beta branch called "xna-original". If you have problems, you can always revert back to this version (though, of course, it's only four players).

  • PLEASE let me know if you have any problems!

  • PLEASE also let me know if it works well for you!

As always, thank you for supporting this game. I appreciate all the wonderful comments I've received over the years, and I'm truly honored that this game has been able to play a small role in creating some fun moments between friends and family. <3
