To play co-op on Steam, first, ensure both players have Steam accounts and the game installed. Then, one player needs to invite the other through the game's built-in co-op feature or Steam's 'Remote Play Together' for games not supporting online co-op natively. To use 'Remote Play Together', launch the game, open the Steam Overlay (Shift+Tab), right-click the friend you wish to play with, and select 'Remote Play Together'. Both players will need a good internet connection for a smooth experience.
