Playing the game by Innersloth called Among Us is fun. However, it would be more fun if you could play this game with your friend. For those who want to play this game with your friend, you might be wondering if it is possible for you to do that.
For a player to be able to play a certain game with their friend, a split screen feature is needed. The same thing applies for those who play this game on Xbox. If you like to play Among Us and you usually play it on Xbox, you might be wondering if it is possible to play split screen Among Us on Xbox.
Unfortunately, there is no way for you to play split screen Among Us on Xbox due to the fact that split screen or shared screen is not supported for this game. However, who knows there might be a time when the split screen is supported for this game. As of now, the only thing that you can do is to visit the official website of Innersloth regularly to find the newest information about this game. Not only that, you can also follow them on social media so you can be the first one to know the latest information about this game from them.
As of now, you can only enjoy Among Us on Xbox without a split screen. It is really easy to play this game. Before playing as either a crewmate or an impostor, you will have to join the game first. Below are the instructions to join this game:
-
- Firstly, you have to download and install Among Us. It is available to download from the Google Play Store for Android, from the App Store for iPhone and iPad, from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, and from Steam for PC.
- After downloading and installing the game, open it by clicking or tapping the icon with a red crewmate wearing a spacesuit.
- Next, choose Local or Online on the main menu.
- After that, tap Find Game (public game only).
- Feel free to choose a map to play on.
- The sixth step is to choose the number of impostors.
- The next thing to choose is the chat language.
- Do not forget to also choose a lobby to join.
After joining the game, you can play as either a crewmate or an impostor. If you want to play as a crewmate, you should understand the role of a crewmate. Just like playing as a crewmate, you should also understand the role of impostors.
If you want to play the game with your friend on Xbox, you might want to consider some other games that support the split screen. One of the most popular games that you can consider is Fortnite. If you are interested in this idea, here is the guide to follow to be able to do that:
-
- The first thing that you have to do is to make sure that you have two Xbox controllers. Not only that, you also need to get two Xbox accounts. Your account and another one will be treated like two separate players with proper accounts. It means there is no way for you to play without one. While it can be done either before or during the setup process, it is better for you to do it before to get it out of the way. It should be noted that there is no way for the guest accounts to work. Once again, it will be needed for you to get a proper Xbox account that has an email address and password.
- Then, start Fortnite in Duos. As you probably can guess, the Fortnite split screen on Xbox only works in two modes, which are Duos and Squads. There is no way for the latter to show up unless you are in the lobby for one of those modes. If you have no idea what to do, you will just have to choose Battle Royale and then choose one of the two required modes.
- After the first player is ready to go, it will be needed for the second one to turn on their Xbox controller and pair it with the console if they have not done it yet. At this stage, you should be able to see an option located on the bottom of the screen that asks you to hold the Y button for [P2] LOG IN. Upon getting the command, do it. By doing so, you will be prompted with a list of accounts to sign into if you are not already. Besides, you can also make a new account here. It is worth noting that sometimes the option found on the bottom of the screen is a little bit annoying, forcing you to exit and re-enter Duos or Squads to get it to show up.
- These are all the things that you have to do to play Fortnite split screen on Xbox. From this stage, you can go to the game and select the area to land. Apparently, everything functions the same. However, there is an exception, which is before you pull out your glider. In this case, it will be needed for the second player to follow the first one every time they want to go.
Talking about playing split screen Fortnite on Xbox, for your information, those who have a Xbox Series X or S can play split screen at a full 60 frames per second as well.
Before trying to play split screen Fortnite on Xbox, you should know that there are a few limitations to this feature. As stated earlier, it is only possible in Duos and Squads. From this information, it can be concluded that there is no way for you to do that in Creative, limited time modes, Save the World, or Solos. However, it might be possible in the future so please do not lose hope.
