Hi guys!

Soon I'll be traveling and visiting family. I'd like to be able to hook my Steam Deck to their TV and let their kids have a rip at couch multiplayer games allowing up to 4 simultaneous players. The good ole classic WiiU Mario Kart is there and been played until exhaustion by now, so I'd be happy if I had more titles (either SD-compatible or just plain emulated) at the ready if they wanted to try.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot! How many split-screen players are allowed? Only two, or does it go up to 4?

It supports up to 4. Full disclosure I haven’t tried split screen on the Deck, but I fully believe it’s worth a shot

I mean for split screen I'd be hooking it up to a TV. It's too tiny for 4 ppl to cram their heads and try to figure what's going on. Thanks!
