Let’s take a look. From couch co-ops like It Takes Two to the previous joy of Diablo 3, many gamers are well aware of the impact such a combination could have. After all, who doesn’t want to explore Sanctuary with a friend using couch co-op, especially when coming up against some tougher battles? So, naturally, many are wondering whether Diablo 4 has couch co-op capabilities and whether they’ll be able to play the game with friends on the same TV. Let’s take a look and find out. How to play Diablo 4 couch co-op To enjoy couch co-op in Diablo 4, you’ll first need to enable the mode. Simply follow these steps to start your two-player adventure: Launch Diablo 4 on your console and activate the one controller. – Turn on the second player’s controller. – A prompt will appear in the bottom right of your screen confirming that P2 is connected. – The second player will then need to log in with the Xbox/PlayStation account that’s linked to Blizzard’s Battle.net service. – Then, the second player should get an option to select their character. – Select the character and you’ll be able to play together. – What platforms is split-screen available on? Diablo 4 has couch co-op for up to two people and will be available to enjoy on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Unfortunately, at the moment, couch co-op is not available for those playing on PC. In an interview with Eurogamer, Diablo general manager Rob Fergusson explained that “trying to do shared-screen co-op on PC is much more challenging when it comes to account management and how you play together”. While the developers haven’t ruled out the possibility of PC couch co-op, it seems there are more challenges than just technology, with the difficulties of space and sharing a PC screen. Get bonus XP while playing co-op Another way Blizzard has been encouraging partying and working together is by giving bonus XP to those who work together. Whenever a group of players finishes a dungeon or area, be it local co-op or online, anybody in the lobby room can gain an extra 5% of XP. And if you team up together, you can earn up to 10% in bonus XP. That’s everything you need to know about Diablo 4’s couch co-op capabilities.
