Hydroneer just released its biggest update to date. Update 2.0 reworked the codebase to further optimize the game, added a new vehicle system, and introduced Multiplayer using Steam Remote Play. The developers also planned out the upcoming updates, which will focus more on farming and digging machinery.

Players can finally play the game with their friends but limited to split-screen mode, for now. Players can choose to play co-op locally or use Steam’s Remote Play feature to play split-screen multiplayer. There’s one advantage to using remote play. Only one player has to own the game, and the second player can just join the Remote Play session.

Vehicles have always been inconsistent in Hydroneer as they tend to fly off into space. This issue has been resolved in Update 2.0, and that’s not all. The developers also improved the handling of vehicles to make them fun to drive.

Players might notice the Excavator vehicle missing from the game. The developers removed it but will be reintroduced later in Update 2.2, which is focused on digging machinery.
