With the releaseofMinecraft Legendsa few days ago, players can now see if they click with Mojang Studios’ newest take on its immensely popular IP. Of course, given that the game supports both cooperative andcompetitive multiplayer, many will want to give the title a whirl with their friends.Minecrafthas always excelled at bringing players together with its multiplayer, so it stands to reason thatMinecraft Legendswould attempt to continue this tradition. Just like with any multiplayer game, many will wonder if they have the option of experiencingMinecraft Legendsthrough split-screen co-op. So doesMinecraft Legendsincorporate this feature, or does it come up short?
Can you play split-screen inMinecraft Legends?
Unfortunately,Minecraft Legendsdoes not include split-screen or any kind of local multiplayer feature. So if you have a friend who wants to play co-op with you, they will need to have a separateMinecraft Legendscopy and gaming system as well as an Internet connection to do so. Considering that most console versions ofMinecraftallow for split-screen co-op, many will likely feel disappointed over its omission here.
At the very least,Minecraft Legendsdoes allow players to take advantage of crossplay for both co-op and competitive multiplayer. So if you worry about being unable to play the game with your friends due to their owning it on a different system, you may safely lay those fears to rest. Of course, this does not make playing with friends as accessible as split-screen would, but at least it removes a potential hurdle.
Even without split-screen, many of those who enjoyMinecraft Legendswill likely enjoy it even more by booting up either co-op or PvP. If you want to learn more about multiplayer inMinecraft Legendsand how to set up online sessions for these modes, you can check out ourguide on the subject here.
