Für Machine Party ist auf Steam das Update v2.0 erschienen und bringt den lang angekündigten Couch-Co-op-Modus.

Bis zu 4 Controller lassen sich anschließen, ein Spieler kann alternativ mit Maus und Tastatur mitspielen - für eine Vierergruppe reichen also 3 Controller. Lokal stehen dabei die Modi Original, Custom und Arcade zur Verfügung. Mehrere Simulationen wie Minefield, Chisel Gauntlet und Duck Hunt wurden eigens für den Splitscreen-Betrieb angepasst.

Couch co-op To access couch co-op: connect up to 4 controllers, navigate to Local in the menu, and select either Original, Custom, or Arcade. Once you’re in the lobby screen, press any button on one of the controllers to join. One player can also be on keyboard & mouse, so for a group of 4, you only need 3 controllers!

Changelog Online

• Infected players in Inside Job (including the syringe person) are now slightly faster (1.15x the normal speed), instead of being the same speed as hiding players.

Local

• Lobby functionality has been adjusted: joined players have to input their name and select cosmetics before being able to ready up. A countdown of 5 seconds begins once all players have readied up.
• All players return to the lobby with their names and customization settings intact once a game ends.
• Minefield: the camera now follows players based on the distance between all players.
• Chisel Gauntlet: the camera switches between one screen or split screen depending on whether the jumbotron is being viewed.
• Duck Hunt: the screen is split in half between runners and hunter; the camera has been placed farther away for runners.
• Inside Job and The Filter now work in split screen.
• Firearm Factory: the required ingredient for gun assembly is now visible on the workbenches for all players.

Außerdem haben sich mittlerweile über 1.000.000 Exemplare von Machine Party verkauft.
