Minecraft splitscreen is a console-exclusive feature. PC players are unfortunately out of luck. However, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch owners can enjoy this classic multiplayer mode.

Your setup needs to meet some minimum requirements. You'll need a TV or monitor supporting at least 720p HD resolution, and your console must also support this resolution. HDMI connection automatically sets the resolution; VGA users may need to manually adjust settings on their console.

Local Splitscreen Gameplay

Minecraft offers both local and online splitscreen options. Local splitscreen lets up to four players share one console – just make sure everyone gets a fair turn with the controller! The exact steps vary slightly depending on your console, but the general process remains consistent.

1. Connect your console: Use an HDMI cable for optimal results.

That's it! Enjoy your local multiplayer session.

Online Multiplayer with Local Splitscreen

While you can't directly splitscreen with remote players, you can combine local splitscreen with online multiplayer.

1. Follow steps 1-4 above. However, this time, enable the multiplayer option before starting the game.

2. Invite your online friends.
