Before we dive in, you should know that the split screen feature is only available to high-end consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Older consoles and PCs don’t support it.

Here are the steps to dive into the split-screen feature in Bo6:

  • Step 1: First things first, you should have an extra controller in order to set up the split screen. If you have the second controller, pair it up with your system.
  • Step 2: Once you paired it up, open Black Ops 6. It also must be noted that you can use this feature only in Zombies and Multiplayer mode. 
  • Step 3: Now head either to the Zombies or Multiplayer mode.
  • Step 4: Now, you will be asked to log in with your second Activision account. 
  • Step 5: Do all the requisite steps to log in to your account, and once it is done, you can see both accounts are joined together in the party.

Remember, you won’t see a split screen until you go into a match. Once you are in the match, the screen will be divided into two halves.
