How to Do Split Screen in Minecraft: A Step-by-Step Guide

Ever wondered how you can play Minecraft with friends on the same console? Well, you’re in luck because we’re about to dive into exactly how to do split screen in Minecraft!

Let’s get straight to the point: You want to play Minecraft with friends or family on the same screen, right? We’ve got the steps to make that happen.

Quick Steps for Split Screen Minecraft

First things first, to enjoy Minecraft in split screen, you’ll need a console that supports this feature. That means you can play split screen on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Nintendo Switch. Remember, both players need to have a controller to play.

Here’s the simple way to start a split screen game:

• Fire up Minecraft on your console and select ‘Create New’ or load an existing world.
• Once in the game, turn on the second controller and press ‘Start’ or the equivalent button on your console.
• The game will prompt you to sign in another player. Do it, and voilà, you’re ready to explore Minecraft together on the same screen!

Keep in mind, the screen will only split when both players are signed in and have joined the world. Also, in split screen mode, the screen is divided horizontally or vertically, giving each player their own view of the game world.
