Can you play Far Cry 5 in split screen? Is there a split-screen mode in the PC, PS4 or Xbox One version of Far Cry 5 and if so, how can you activate it and play it with friends on a console?
Play Far Cry 5 in co-op mode
The fifth part of the popular Far Cry series from Ubisoft is in the starting blocks and, like its predecessor, you can also play Far Cry 5 in co-op mode with friends. You are free to choose whether you want to play through/continue the campaign or just explore the large open world with a friend in cooperative mode. In co-op mode, a so-called “drop in, drop out” applies, which means nothing other than that only the host’s game progress is saved. The second player in co-op only joins the session and their game progress is not saved in a separate savegame. According to current information, the guest or second player must make the game progress themselves in their own game as long as they are not the host of the co-op session. Nevertheless, experience points and the game currency are transferred to the second player.
Can you play Far Cry 5 in split screen?
Although many players will certainly play the co-op mode over the Internet, some buyers of Ubisoft’s new open-world adventure may be wondering, can you play Far Cry 5 in split screen? Even though Far Cry 5 has an online co-op mode, according to current information you cannot play it in split screen but only with friends over the Internet. Far Cry 5 cannot be played with two people on one console via a split-screen mode in couch co-op. By the way, this not only applies to the PS4 and Xbox One versions, but also to the PC version of the game.
