You can play 2 player in Black Ops 6 using split screen mode. Doing so will divide the screen into 2 half’s, allowing each player to play on separate accounts at one time. However, this is only possible on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 consoles. With split screen you can play 2 player multiplayer or zombies.
1. Go to the Black Ops 6 home screen and turn on your second controller.
2. Sign into a different PlayStation or Xbox account with your second controller.
3. Go into Multiplayer or Zombies.
4. Press X or A on your second controller to join the lobby.
5. Sign into an Activision account or create a new one.
How to Stop Split Screen in Black Ops 6
One of the easier ways to remove a second player in Black Ops 6 is to sign out of the second account. You can do this using the second controller. Once done the second player will instantly be removed from the game and split screen will be disabled.
Can You Change Split Screen Orientation in Black Ops 6?
Unfortunately, you can’t change split screen orientation in Black Ops 6. This means you must use the default split screen settings without any room to adjust it. If you don’t like the way split screen looks then you can try playing single player and share the controller.
Did Black Ops 6 Get Rid of Split Screen?
Like previous Call of Duty titles the game boasts split screen for both multiplayer and zombies. However, split screen is only supported on the current generation of consoles. This means that you can’t play split screen on PS4 or Xbox One. Instead, you will need to have an Xbox Series X/S or PS5.
Do You Keep XP Earned From Split Screen?
The XP that is earned when playing split screen in Black Ops is kept. However, the XP will go towards the Activision account that is being used. This means that each player will earn XP towards only their account. However, this does mean the second player can then continue their progression on their own device if they wish.
Changing Settings in Split Screen Mode
When in split screen mode each player can change their own settings. This allows you to setup your game with the aim assist and movement settings that you are used to. However, some settings are universal, such as color settings. This means you won’t be able to change your enemy color or the color filter that you are using. Additionally, you can’t use different button layouts.
Split Screen Not Working in Black Ops 6
If split screen isn’t working in Black Ops 6 then you might be using an unsupported platform. Unfortunately, split screen is only available on the current generation of consoles. If you are playing on a PS4 or Xbox One then you can’t use split screen mode. Additionally, PC versions of the game also don’t allow you to play split screen.
Additionally, only multiplayer and zombies allow you to play split screen. This means you can’t play campaign in Co-op mode. While this may not be what you want to hear, both the zombies and multiplayer experiences are great in split screen.
