local play

Community theater production

Local play is a gaming mode where multiple players share the same physical space and often the same device or screen, as opposed to playing online with remote participants.

The term covers both split-screen gaming on a single console and connecting multiple devices in the same room: Does this game support local play, or is it online only?

Also called local multiplayer or couch co-op when cooperative.
