Do you organize couch multiplayer parties with your friends? Why are we still limited to max 4 players for most local multiplayer games? We want to play all together! In this group we talk about new multiplayer games you can play offline with more than 4 people at the same time: split screen, same screen and more!

@kung fu:
Thanks for reporting.
Store page says "Offline multiplayer up to 8 players" and screenshots showed 8 players so I figured it was 8 human players. I'll remove it from the curator for now and add it back when supported.

@goron_elder_chris:
SantaCorps 4 and SantaCorps: Snow patrol are only for 4 players.
Santa Corps: Snow patrol was for 8 according to the store page but they changed it. See the developers answer here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/3398700/discussions/0/599640501555095523/#c691999379595382415

The game currently only supports 4 local players, and the only way to reach an 8-player free-for-all is by adding 4 CPU players. However, the developer replied that they’re working on a dynamic player limit, which will allow up to 8 players in both CPU and local modes.

I really wish there was some sort of free Rewasd alternative, just for stuff like this. But i bought a lifetime lisence.

Unfortunately I don't have anything new to share.

You could attempt to change the XBox One driver to a generic one. See: instructions here: https://www.snes9x.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?t=27510
That makes your XBox controllers not use XInput. I haven't done much testing in this mode so I don't know if this makes a lot of games work. I noticed that when restarting the controllers I (sometimes?) had to redo the trick.

vJoy + Universal controller remapper + HIDHide could work. When I tried before Universal controller remapper needed to be the focused applictaion so it could work for games that can run and accept input in the background. UCR was a bit unstable when i tested this before.

Someone should write an application that does this for XBox controllers... I could potentially do it but I have way too many cool idea projects that I currently can't find the time to do. :-(
