I decided to make this guide because me and a friend got some troubles to getting the game running via "Remote play together" just to figure out the solution was quite simple.

How to Remote play!
Requirements:
  • A Controller for the 2nd player.
    • Pretty much what every Remote play together game requires, it might makes some troubles if both player using the same keyboard.
  • The current steam beta.
    • This might change upon steam recive new updates, but for the current date (~12.05.2021~) you need to join the current steam beta if both of you using different Operating Systems.
      • Already using different Windows versions is making troubles.

To join the steam beta:

Click on Steam > Settings > Account and in the Beta participation tab click on Change.. and choose the current Steam Beta Update


Step 1: Setting up Controls
First thing you have to do is changing Controller for the 2nd player.
  • If Player 1 uses Keyboard, Player 2 has to use controller.
  • If Player 1 uses Controller, Player 2 has to use Keyboard.


Step 2: Joining
  1. First of all Player 1 needs one partner to follow him since Player 2 will take control over them.
  2. Player 2 now just has to join the game by pressing ESC with Keyboard or Start with Controller.
  3. Player 1 now only has to accept the request.


Further note:
  • When Player 1 dies, Player 2 will become the "leader" making him able to pause the game and stuff.
    • If 4 out of 5 characters should die the game becomes singleplayer.
      • If Player 1 should die, Player 2 continues alone until the host ends the season.

Thanks for the guide. Some little differences trying this out myself with a friend in 2024:

1. No Steam Beta needed anymore, Remote Play Together has been a fully released feature for a long time

2. Both players can use controllers without issue. We would set both Player 1 and Player 2 input devices in the settings menu to 'Game controller 1' and '2'. It was a strange mix of which #1 and #2 were my controller or my partner's controller; But I would assume the sequence would depend on whether or not you plugged in a controller into your PC before or after Remote Play Together is initiated.

Otherwise, pretty much smooth sailing and pleasantly playable. Hadn't heard any latency complaints from my friend, but we are living in somewhat close distance geographically.
