How it plays
On PC, PlayStation and Xbox up to four players share a split screen, each with their own goat, free to wreck the town, chase points and knock each other around; the Switch edition takes two.
There is no goal beyond causing chaos, so short, silly sessions work best.
There is no online play, but on PC Steam Remote Play Together lets friends join a split-screen session from home with one copy.
Goat SimulatorRemastered is a separate purchase.
