Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features a plethora of multiplayer content for players to get stuck into, whether it's the horrifying zombies mode or the smattering of online multiplayer modes. Naturally, most players with a stable internet connection and an online subscription - at least on console - will be able to enjoy these without any issues. However, for those who still prefer to play with a friend by their side in split-screen co-op, it's less simple.

The gaming industry has been moving away from split-screen content, reducing it to a distant memory for some. However, the Call of Duty series has consistently included it in some capacity, and with Black Ops 6 becoming one of the most popular COD games, it's no surprise fans want to give it a whirl. Luckily, playing it in split-screen is possible, although it continues a disappointing trend that's bothered split-screen fans for years.

Black Ops 6 Can Be Played In Split-Screen

It s Couch Co-Op With One Friend

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features split-screen co-op for those who want to play with a friend literally by their side. It's one of the best features of Black Ops 6, especially for those who grew up playing the old-school COD games with a friend. However, it is only split-screen with one other player, meaning that it's not possible to play with a squad of three, four, or more. Considering the difficulty of getting a game like Black Ops 6 to run in split-screen, this is an understandable trade-off.

It's great to see Call of Duty continue to include split-screen co-op, especially when other triple-A games have removed it. It's also easy to access in Black Ops 6, with players simply needing to turn on their other controller and press X or A when in the applicable mode. From there, all they'll need to do is to their Activision , and they can begin playing together. It's important to note that split-screen is not available on PC or last-gen consoles, and it is only accessible on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Which Modes Use Split Screen In Black Ops 6

Two Of The Main Modes Feature Split Screen

Split-screen is available in the zombies and multiplayer game modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Players can use split-screen to face off against bots in the multiplayer mode or to take down hordes of zombies in the revamped zombies mode. This means that those who prefer couch co-op can still try out Black Ops 6's best multiplayer maps and aren't being locked out of any meaningful content.

However, it isn't possible to play the campaign in split-screen mode, as this is a single-player-only experience. This has been the case since Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Interestingly, the last COD game to feature a split-screen campaign was Black Ops 3. Nevertheless, there's plenty for two friends to get stuck into in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 while chowing down on some Doritos on the couch.
