Hello Knight Squad players!

Our game has been out for almost 4 years now but we have a bit of a news for you today. Steam has a new feature in Beta called "Remote Play Together". Using the power of streaming, this feature allows you to play Knight Squad with any of your friends online, even if they don't own Knight Squad! It's almost exactly like playing on the couch. You might experience a bit of latency but that depends on many factors such as the strength and stability of your internet connection.

It's a pretty cool feature. It fits perfectly with the spirit of Knight Squad. We have tried it internally and it works fine. Now, we would love if some of you could also try it and leave us some feedback. It's not a Knight Squad feature, it's a Steam feature so we probably won't be able to fix anything, but we like to know where we stand.

If you want to try it out and have a remote party with your friends, here are the steps.

First, you need to opt-in to the Steam Beta Updates. You'll find the drop-down menu to do so in your Steam Settings, under the Account subsection.

Second, you need to also opt-in to a specific branch of Knight Squad. You'll find the drop-down to do so in the Knight Squad Properties, under the Betas Tab.

Now, you are ready to try it, follow these steps to launch a Play Together Party :

  1. Open Knight Squad

  2. Open the Steam Overlay (default shortcut is shift+tab)

  3. Click on the friend you want to invite from your list.

  4. Select “Remote Play Together.”

  5. Ensure your friend accepts the invite.

The system will automatically connect everyone. You can also voice chat with them using Steam’s built-in communication features.

Let us know how it works for you!

Have a great day,
