If you’re asking, “How do I split-screen Minecraft on Xbox?” you’ve come to the right place. Get ready to embark on adventures together!

The Quick Answer to Split-Screen Minecraft

To play Minecraft in split-screen mode on Xbox, you need two things: a compatible Xbox (Xbox One, Xbox Series X, or Xbox Series S) and a second controller. Oh, and both players must be signed into their Xbox Live accounts!

First, launch Minecraft and start a game in either Creative or Survival mode. Once you’re in the game, simply turn on the second controller and press the ‘Start’ button to join in. Minecraft will automatically split the screen, allowing both players to dive into the world together. Remember, your TV or monitor needs to be in 720p resolution or higher for split-screen play.
