Can you connect multiple screens to the PlayStation 5? How to connect and set up a second screen with PS5? These questions may concern one or another PS5 player who either often plays with friends on a console in split screen or who plays racing games on the console and would like to use a multi-monitor setup. The only question is, is this actually possible and how can you connect multiple screens to the PS5?
PlayStation 5: Set split screen on 2 screens?
The short answer to the question is, at least currently, no, unfortunately that is not possible. Similar to its predecessor in the form of the PlayStation 4, the new PlayStation 5 only has one HDMI output to which you cannot connect two televisions without additional accessories. You could connect two televisions or monitors to the console via a splitter, but the image would then only be mirrored on a second television or monitor. Depending on the television, you could then try to hide the split screen side of the other player using the picture settings by stretching the picture. But that would also ensure that the other image would be stretched very wide. A split-screen view, i.e. player 1 plays on one television and player 2 on the other television, is currently not planned and cannot be set via the PlayStation 5’s screen settings.
Even though it would certainly be a practical feature if you could connect two screens to the PlayStation 5 for split-screen games, you probably shouldn’t get your hopes up about this. The proportion of PS5 owners who would use multiple screens on the console is certainly very small.
Tip: This is how you can connect and set up a second PS5 controller with the Sony console.
