Diablo 4: Co-op split screen tutorial
2023-06-30 08:35Diablo IV requires players to have an internet connection at all times, and couch co-op is the perfect way to make this compulsive entertainment. Here's how to play Diablo IV in couch co-op split-screen, and a list of improvements you'll notice to this fan-favorite feature.
Diablo 4 has become the fastest-selling Blizzard game of all time, and so far, we haven't even gotten through its first season. While live service elements like seasonal play and the battle pass mean Diablo 4 will be supported long-term, the community still expects the developer to add an offline mode for a more accessible single-player campaign experience.
One Diablo 4 feature that hasn't been the subject of controversy so far is the couch co-op split-screen. It's been improved with some much-needed quality-of-life changes, and playing with your friends is now more entertaining than ever.
On that note, here's a guide on how to play Diablo 4 couch co-op split-screen on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Additionally, we'll explain whether PC players will be able to use couch co-op in Diablo IV.
Will Diablo 4 on PC have couch co-op?
No, Diablo 4 does not have a split-screen couch co-op on PC. The feature is exclusive to consoles (Xbox and PlayStation), though you can also play the game with a controller on PC.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson explained that they were unable to bring couch co-op to PC due to technical issues. According to Fergusson, logging into two Battle.net accounts on PC was difficult.
You can enable couch co-op for Diablo 4 on Xbox and PlayStation consoles by following these steps:
Start Diablo 4 on your console and activate the first player's controller.
Turn on the second player's Xbox/PlayStation controller.
A prompt will appear at the bottom right of the screen saying that the P2 is connected.
Press the button you are asked to press in the prompt.
The second player must be signed in with their Xbox/PlayStation account, which is associated with Blizzard.
Wait for the loading to complete, and the second player should get an option to choose their character in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Choose your character, and Player 2 will eventually join your world. Diablo 4 encouraged players to play in groups, giving out bonus XP to all team members. This makes multiplayer one of the most effective ways to level up quickly, and explains why most streamers team up to complete a hardcore Diablo 4 match. Diablo 4's couch co-op mode is only available on PlayStation and Xbox.
Is Diablo 4's couch co-op mode different from Diablo 3?
Yes, Diablo 4's couch co-op mode arrived with some tweaks, the main tweaks include:
The maximum limit for couch co-op has been reduced from 4 to 2 players. Note that this is only for couch co-op, you can still form a 4-player team in standard co-op/multiplayer mode.
Both players in co-op worlds now have separate menus, in addition to wardrobes and maps.
Two players can visit different merchants at the same time.
Clearly, the couch co-op experience in Diablo IV is much better than in previous games. Thanks to separate menus, you don't have to wait for your partners to sort out their inventories, and it saves a lot of time when this kind of task can be done together.
