How to Play Minecraft in Split Screen Mode
Last updated
Ever wondered how to join friends or family in a Minecraft adventure on the same screen? Let’s dig into the fun world of Minecraft and discover how to play in split screen mode!
Playing Minecraft together on one screen, also known as split screen mode, is a fantastic way to team up or compete with friends and family. But how exactly do you set it up?
Quick Steps to Minecraft Split Screen
To play Minecraft in split screen mode, you need a console that supports the game, like Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch. Sorry, PC gamers, split screen is a no-go on computers. First, make sure your device is connected to a TV or monitor big enough for everyone to see clearly. Then, launch Minecraft, and as long as you have enough controllers for each player, you can dive into the game together!
It’s key to remember that to use split screen on Xbox and PlayStation, you’ll need an HD TV with HDMI connection. Plus, all players must play on the same platform. This means Xbox players with Xbox players, PlayStation buddies with PlayStation buddies, and so on. Once you’re in the game, simply add another controller and press start to bring your friend’s character into your Minecraft world.
