Ever wondered how you can share the immense Minecraft world with a friend sitting right next to you? If you’re asking yourself, ‘How do I do split screen on Minecraft?’, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s explore this fun feature together!

Splitting the screen in Minecraft allows two players to play on the same console at the same time. You’ll double the fun without doubling the devices. Ready to dive in?

Easy Steps to Split Screen Fun in Minecraft

To start with split screen in Minecraft, you need two things: a device that supports split screen and enough controllers for each player. Minecraft offers split screen play on consoles like the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and 5, and the Nintendo Switch. Sorry PC gamers, this feature isn’t available on computers yet.

Once you have your console and controllers ready, launch Minecraft and make sure you’re in ‘TV mode’ or using your console’s equivalent. Then, simply start a game in either Survival or Creative mode. As soon as player two presses the ‘Start’ button on their controller, voila! Your screen splits, inviting them into your Minecraft world. Remember, both players need to be signed in on their controllers for this to work smoothly.
