Abstract
Presenting a local multiplayer experience for a multiplayer game that includes remote multiplayer support. A computer system establishes a plurality of game streams, each corresponding to a different instance of the multiplayer game. Each game stream corresponds to a different user identifier of a plurality of user identifiers that are joined to a single multiplayer session using the remote multiplayer support of the multiplayer game. The computer system associates each of a plurality of gaming interface devices with a different game stream. The computer system outputs a composite stream of the plurality of game streams, which simultaneously presents each game stream in a split-screen display format for display at a single display device. While outputting the composite stream of the plurality of game streams, the computer system causes input signals received from each gaming interface device to be routed to its associated game stream.
