Quick Guide to Split-Screen Fun
Playing Minecraft in split-screen mode on your Xbox is easy! First off, you need to make sure you have an Xbox console that supports Minecraft. This includes Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. Next, grab an extra controller because you’ll need it for your fellow player.
Now, follow these simple steps: Start your Minecraft game, then once you’re in the game, press ‘Start’ on the second controller to bring in your friend’s character. Make sure your TV or monitor is big enough because the screen will split, giving each player their own view of the Minecraft world. Voila – you are now ready to embark on a split-screen adventure!
