No Split Screen on Steam (PC) for PvZ GW2

PvZ Garden Warfare 2 NO Split Screen??

Hello,

I have just purchased this on the Steam store to play with my son as the store states it is split screen.

The option is missing and after a search is says only available on Xbox and PS4. It is my hope that this has been added since those posts as this would be a crazy decision, no?

Please can you confirm if this is still not available as I will get a refund if not?

Many thanks,

Neil

  • Splitscreen doesn't exist on the PC versions of the PvZ shooter games. You would have to buy them on Xbox/PlayStation to use it.

    Hello,

    No, I informed Steam they were incorrectly advertising the game and got a refund in the end.

    Seems crazy to me why it is not on PC.

  • @Crakkfox Because publishers have decided that whilst consoles really can't handle running two instance of the game, without it often descending into a slideshow, that only console gamers want to play locally with friends or family, and whilst powerful gaming PCs could easily handle several instances of many co-op style games, gaming publishers have decided that only lone attic dwellers play on PC....thus, no split screen for PC, most of the time....despite the success of split screen games on PC.....despite the widespread use of Nucleus which works for most Co-Op games, provided they are on Steam, and not some * platform like EA Games, which locks Nucleus out.
