Question when you play local multiplayer with friends and family do you usually play on PC or Consoles?

in pc we do play old games, such as star wars battlefront 2 2005 or cs source, it's like old time fun in my studio.

When I did a cottage weekend with my wife and friends I brought my gaming laptop up and did some 4 player shredders revenge and did a street fighter and Tetris tournament it was good times.

PC ofcourse. Sony and Nintendo consoles are for single player physical releases.

I only play games on a console if it's the only place I can play them.

I only play multiplayer games at all with my son. It's usually Fortnite with us in two different rooms on our PCs. Sometimes we'll play fighting games or co-op stuff in the same room, but that's somewhat rare.

For local MP games, like fighting games or co-op games, always on console sitting on the sofa in front of a TV. For online MP dosent matter, i rarelly play them.

Console. I only play gran turismo and fighting games online. And with fighting games, that cross play goes right off.

Edit: Oh. "Local". Duh.

Used to play way more local multiplayer on console, but these days most of the bigger games marketed around consoles (barring Nintendo) are single-player or online games.

So it's pretty much inverted to PC. I can stream from my office desktop into the living room pretty easily at my own place. If I go to a friend's place, I can either bring my laptop or my Steam Deck depending on the games, and Steam Input pretty much works with any controller under the sun.

Indies and fighting games are the only thing bringing out local multiplayer anymore, so it's that or playing older games. Beat 'em ups are the easy go to since anyone can play like Streets of Rage 4, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, etc.
