How to online split screen
Please could somebody explain how I can split screen online with my son at home. We can do the regular split screen, but how do we both go online with splitscreen.
Thanks in advance

We also got this to work on an Xbox One after a week of disappointment thinking it would not work. At first Multiplayer had a red X through it when in split screen mode. But all it took was 2nd player logging on with FREE Microsoft account instead of being a guest. Once 2nd profile was created using the MS account we have been online gaming split screen ever since!
There is not a lot of info on how to do this and LOADS of posts saying online split screen does not work, but it does. Not sure if it was added after the fact and not in initial release but for sure it works now. :-)
Online split screen came with the latest DLC, you didn't miss anything!
does it work for PC? I know ive seen a whole lot of people saying there is no split screen for pc but in the patch notes of the game they state that they added it?
How can I get online split screen working on my PS4? I already tried to get my sons account to work but I couldn't make him a child account. I then made an account for my wife and got to the point where you can select online multiplayer for in-game. As I click it I get a screen to buy PSN+ for her. I have PSN+ on my own account already and she is a family member in settings. Shouldn't that be enough?

It should be. I think you have date with Sony customer service! I've never dealt with them, so I don't know what to tell you to expect.I've logged my wife's account into split screen a couple of times to finish off star quests in the last couple of days, and gotten the message that she will be logged in as guest. So I suspect something may be wrong as that has never happened before.
I think that I will try one more time with my daughter's account, and if I get the same result I will report this to EA staff.
EDIT: Well, that is peculiar. My daughter's account logged in on split screen with no issues.
