STEAM REMOTE PLAY

That means you can build and play Build A Game Universe with your friends online right now! We've already tested it out and it's awesome! :)
Full details here. Here's how to get things working. 1. Join Steam Beta (instructions) 2. Launch Build a Game Universe. 3. Invite your friends. From your Friends list in the Steam Overlay, select Remote Play Together. Once they accept... 4. You're playing together.
Their controllers will act as if they're plugged directly into your computer, and all your voice chat and game volume options are available in one place. To keep things simple, only the game is displayed to your Friends, never your desktop or other Top Secret stuff. You can share or limit access to the keyboard and mouse. Its your choice.
