Does State of Decay 2 Have Local Split-Screen Co-Op?

The short answer is no. Unfortunately, State of Decay 2 does not currently support local couch co-op. However, the game does support online multiplayer co-op for up to four players, which means you can invite three other people to join you for some zombie-slaying fun on either Xbox One or Windows 10 PC.

State of Decay 2 allows you to team up and play co-op multiplayer with up to three of your friends online. Follow the steps below to setup co-op in State of Decay 2:

  1. Start up State of Decay 2.
  2. Open the Pause Menu and select Settings.
  3. Go to the Multiplayer tab.
  4. Change the settings on the right to either Invite Only or Friends Only.
  5. Return to the Pause Menu. Guest slots should now be available.
  6. Select a Guest slot to send an invite to a friend.

It’s important to note that players who join a friend for co-op will not earn standing for their character, but they will continue earning influence, which helps when claiming outposts later on. Guest players must also stay within range of the host player, so try not to stray too far while scavenging or fighting off zombies in State of Decay 2.

Playing co-op with friends in State of Decay 2 can help to take the edge off surviving the zombie apocalypse. Your team can work together to scavenge for resources, fight off zombies, and even save each other from the Blood Plague.
