The split screen belongs to Borderlands 3, as was the case with the previous parts of the series. Playing with a friend on the couch is one of the most popular aspects of the series. We will tell you how to activate the split screen in Part 3.
Borderlands 3: Activate split screen
How the split screen is activated in Borderlands 3 works somewhat differently than with the previous titles in the series. You can't just jump into the split screen like this, but have to make a small setting before starting the game:
- First the 2nd controller must be connected. Without this, it is not possible to activate the split screen.
- If the controller has been connected, you must press a button. It is X on a Playstation or A on an Xbox.
- Now a new game can be started. Click on "Play" and the option "Add split screen" appears under the option of a new game. The second player must then press again.
- Then the session starts.
Attention: Splitscreen in Borderlands 3 is slightly modified
Before you can enjoy Borderlands 3 on the split screen, you need to make a few changes. Gearbox Software did not miss the chance to adapt them a little. The following changes are particularly noticeable:
- No vertical split screen : Yes, you read correctly. There is no vertical split screen this time. Borderlands 3 can only be played in the horizontal split screen.
- Small text size : Due to the horizontal split screen, a significantly smaller text size was chosen. If you do not see the writing well from afar, you will have to move a little closer to the screen.
- No Mac or PC split screen : Split screen in Borderlands 3 is only possible for PS4, Xbox One and Google Stadia players. If you play on PC or Mac, you have to choose the online multiplayer, which completely does without the split screen.
- Stadia support : It is important for Google Stadia users to know that split screen only works with two Stadia controllers. Therefore, each player needs their own console. The session is then displayed on the screen via a split screen.
