It was first released on January 23, 2015, as an early access title for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X and July 17, 2018, on Linux. Make sure the ‘None' next to the controller is replaced with ‘P2. Welcome to the STRANDED DEEP Wiki Stranded Deep is an open-world survival game developed by Australian-based independent game development studio BEAM Team Games. Players can go to the Inputs option in the Options menu to ensure that Stranded Deep recognises the second controller.
Two joysticks can also be used so it totally depends on your preference. Ensure that a controller is attached to the PC before beginning a Stranded Deep co-op game. One player will use the mouse and keyboard, while the other will use the joystick. Although it does not feel like a true co-op game, it is still a lot of fun and good enough for two friends to play together. On the PC, the much lovable local co-operative mode gameplay is completely possible, but for this, the players will have to start sharing the screen.
This does not alter for each update, so it's fair to say the developers never planned for this game to be shared. Each island has a finite amount of food and water, scarcely enough for one human, much less two.
Stranded Deep was created with the goal of becoming a solo experience, and that will not change anytime soon.
