Playing 'Stranded Deep' is available for Multiplayer on PC

The initial release of the game for the public has been announced long since October 2018 by TellTale games. After studio closure of Telltale, Australian Studio Beam Team Games took over. The famous survival video game has gained traction from its official release for consoles such as PlaysStation 4 and Xbox 1 last April 21, 2020 by Beam team Games. Later on this year, the game was released as optimized for PC.

"Stranded Deep" is a video game with a survival theme that takes place in the Pacific Ocean. Its hostile theme, with characters being plane crash survivors that are faced with life and death situations across the Pacific islands and bottomless ocean trenches filled with potential dangers has made it a potential co-op game.

According to GameRant, "Stranded Deep" has acquired much attention from the gamers due to them being included in the Epic Games Store lineup to be accessed for free for a limited time (December 28-December 29).

One of the most common concerns is whether Stranded Deep is available in multiplayer mode, and how you can set up your system to conquer the ocean horrors with a friend. Although available using many platforms, the Split-screen multiplayer feature can only be accessed through PC.

The PC version of Stranded Deep has made available a local split screen and multiplayer option that consoles such as PS4 and Xbox One do not have. According to Game Skinny, there has been no news yet by the Australian Studio Beam Team Games on the possible launch for the multiplayer functionality of Stranded Deep on other platforms.

If you're wondering how to set up your PC for Stranded Deep's multiplayer mode, this guide may help you set up the game for a friendly battle.

How to play 'Stranded Deep' in Multiplayer Mode in your PC

Firstly, you have to ensure that your controller is connected to the PC. Although some choose to connect it before the start of the game, you can actually still connect it while the game is running.

The next thing to do is to hover your controller to Options- Input- Controllers. In the Controllers selection, you will see two available options "Keyboard and Mouse" as well as "Xinput Gamepad 1".

On the keyboard and mouse selection, you should see a "P1" symbol on the right side of your PC's screen. Underneath the option, you will see a "None" underneath which you should click for it to be converted into "P2".

By this time, you're all set for a split-screen multiplayer game for Stranded Deep on your PC. When you start the game, a "single player" beside the "mode" should be readily switched to "cooperative." And that's its- your friend appears as another avatar on your screen which means you're already on co-op mode on your PC.
