Ever wondered if you can play Minecraft in split screen on your Switch without hopping online? Let’s dig into that!

So, you want to play Minecraft with friends or family on the same Switch but don’t want to go online. Can you do it? Absolutely!

Yes, You Can Play Split Screen!

Minecraft allows you to explore worlds together with friends, even without an internet connection, using split screen on the Nintendo Switch. This feature is a fantastic way to share the adventure right from your couch.

To get started, simply connect your controllers to the Switch. Then, launch Minecraft and select a world to dive into. The game will prompt you to press a button on the second controller, adding another player to your game. It’s that easy! Remember, your screen will split, giving each player their own view of the world.
