Stick It to the Stickman Multiplayer and Co-op

Yes — Stick It to the Stickman has co-op, and it is built around two players. The official Steam page lists Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Shared/Split Screen and Remote Play Together in its feature list, and the store description invites you to "add friends to your payroll with couch co-op and remote play." There is no separate online mode to sign into; both routes run through the same two-player setup.

How many players can join?

Two. As of 2026-10-18, the official Steam page's feature list advertises shared/split screen co-op and Remote Play Together but does not advertise support for more than two players, and the game's own updates talk about co-op in pairs — the 13 October 2026 patch notes mention that "The Shareholder Dance scene now works with 2 players." Single-player is listed separately, so solo runs are unaffected.

Couch co-op on one machine

Two people, one PC, one copy. The Steam page's "Shared/Split Screen Co-op" tag is the local option, and the store text calls it couch co-op. The store page tags the game with controller support, which is the usual way a second player joins a shared-screen PC game, but the page does not spell out the in-game steps for adding player two — so be wary of any specific menu path quoted elsewhere that you can't reproduce.

One handy addition for local sessions: the 13 October 2026 patch added an "Unstuck" button to every game mode, which is worth knowing about if a run softlocks with a friend sitting next to you.

Remote Play Together

Remote Play Together is listed on the official Steam page, and the store description mentions "remote play" alongside couch co-op. That is Steam's own streaming feature: the host runs the game and streams it to an invited friend, who does not need their own copy. In practice it means a friend can join your local co-op session from another machine.

Because the game leans on Steam's streaming rather than its own netcode, most remote-play problems people hit are Steam streaming problems rather than game bugs — but not all of them.

When remote play won't connect

The game's Steam Discussions thread "i cant remote play with my friend" collects the recurring complaints across February 2023 to September 2025. Players describe the stream crashing on the guest's side while the host is fine, a banner about "streaming mode" that left one player unable to control anything and told they would have to sit next to the host and use arrow keys, and — in the September 2025 posts — the game reaching its loading screen and closing with no error message after an automatic update, reproduced by two different people.

Treat those as Early Access–era reports: the game left Early Access on 23 September 2026, so they may not match the build you are running.

If you are stuck now, a few general Steam Remote Play checks are worth trying before blaming the game. They are ordinary Steam troubleshooting, not features the developers have documented for this title:

• Make sure the host's Steam client is fully updated and the guest is invited fresh rather than reconnecting to a stale session.
• Look at the host's Remote Play Together settings for input and controller sharing — a guest with no control is often a permission setting, not a crash.
• If the stream dies at launch, try switching hardware encoding off or lowering the stream resolution in Steam's Remote Play settings, and test once with both players on the same network to see whether the problem follows the connection.

Custom levels are a different story

The Level Builder is a solo-friendly tool with a real co-op caveat: the 4 December 2025 Level Builder announcement stated that "Level Builder levels are not currently available for 2 players." As of 2026-10-18, the official Steam page lists the Level Builder and Steam Workshop but does not say whether that restriction has since been lifted, so if a custom level refuses to load with a friend, that note is the likely reason.

What this page doesn't cover

The Steam page's multiplayer features are local ones — shared/split screen co-op plus Remote Play Together. As of 2026-10-18, the official Steam page does not describe public online matchmaking, so if you were hoping to queue into strangers, this is not that game.
