Ever wondered how you can share the vast, blocky worlds of Minecraft with a friend on the same console? We’re diving into exactly that: how to play splitscreen on Minecraft Xbox.

For anyone wanting to team up or face off in Minecraft right from their couch, splitscreen mode is the way to go. Let’s break down how you can get started.

Quick Steps to Splitscreen Fun

Playing Minecraft in splitscreen mode on your Xbox is simpler than building your first dirt hut. Here’s what you’ll need: an Xbox console, a copy of Minecraft, and enough controllers for each player.

First, fire up your game on the Xbox and navigate to the game’s main menu. Then, make sure you’ve logged in with your player profile. Next, simply start a game in either Survival or Creative mode. Once you’re in the game world, have your friend turn on the second controller and press ‘Start’ or the equivalent button on their controller. Voila! The screen will split, and your friend will pop into your Minecraft world ready for adventure or a friendly build-off.
