Virtual Couch doesn't sell or provide games. Membership gives you access to Virtual Couch's remote multiplayer technology, Couch Sessions and platform features. You use game files you're legally authorized to use, and those files remain on your device. See how Virtual Couch handles your games.
The couch is waiting.
