Local co-op works differently
The game also supports 2-player co-op on a single system, but it’s not the same as online or wireless local play. On the Nintendo Switch, both players must use their own set of Joy-Con controllers. That means two pairs of Joy-Cons are required. This local co-op is only for two players sharing the same screen.
Steam multiplayer uses Remote Play
If you're playing on Steam, 2-player co-op is possible using Remote Play Together. Here’s how it works:
- Open the game.
- Press Shift + Tab to open the Steam Overlay.
- Invite a friend using Remote Play (they must have a separate Steam account).
Once accepted, you can both play using one system.
Cross-play is also supported in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
The game supports cross-platform multiplayer, so Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gamers can play together. You’re not limited by the platform, which makes it easier to connect with friends.
What can you do in the multiplayer mode in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time?
