    Is Payday 2 Split Screen to Play with Friends?

    Payday 2 is a co-op FPS title that’s famed for its classic bank heists. The game is a blast and allows you to pull off impossible robberies with your fellow crooks. From going all gun-blazing to properly planning the heists, Payday 2 offers a realistic scenario where you could execute your plans and perform multiple bank heists with the help of your friends and mates. See if you can walk out with millions of bucks in your back pocket. This game is best played with friends, so many players wonder: is payday split screen capable?

    In the co-op mode, the loot from each heist and robbery could be used for various upgrades, new abilities, bonus content, and cosmetic needs. However, your mates could take you down after a successful heist and rob you of your riches. But, to avoid that, you can play it safe by using the split-screen option in local multiplayer mode using the same network that is available in Payday 2 which lets you experience the co-op with your friends and family on a single screen. 

    Despite being released almost over a decade ago, the gameplay that Payday 2 has to offer is phenomenal. Its thrilling single and multiplayer mode is second to none. To further enhance the experience, play COOP and have the time of your life.

    The focus of today’s roundup is Payday 2 Split Screen mode and how to avail of it. 

    Does Payday 2 Have Split Screen Like Other CO-OP Games? 

    Payday 2 doesn’t officially support split-screen and players cannot play Payday 2 in dual-screen mode on all the consoles. However, on PC, players can use a 3rd-party program called ‘Nucleus Coop’  to enable and configure the dual-screen mode but it is not an official feature of the game. 

    How to play Payday 2 in Split Screen Mode? 

    In order to play Payday 2 in split-screen mode, you will first have to download and install the Nucleus Coop application.  NC is a 3rd-party application that allows players to enable dual-screen mode in numerous games. This is true even if they do not officially support it. Similarly, Payday 2 is one of those titles that do not support dual-screen mode. Fortunately, NC brings the idea to reality. 

    Moreover, after installing Nucleus Coop on your system, perform the following steps to enable the split-screen in Payday 2: 

    1. Open NucleusCoop.exe.
    2. Click on ‘Download Game Scrips’ and search for “Payday 2”.
    3. Press the ‘Download’ button and the file opener will pop up. 
    4. Locate the directory folder of Payday 2, which is:
      • Steam > Steamapps > Common > Payday 2
    5. Assign the controllers, click on the ‘ > ‘ arrow at the top-right corner of the window and then press ‘Play’. 
    6. Once the game is launched, click on ‘Play Online’, select a location on the map and continue the local co-op.
    7. Afterward, on the second half of the split-screen, repeat the step mentioned above and click on ‘Start the Hiest’. Now, you will be able to enjoy the dual-screen mode of Payday 2. 

    Does Payday 2 Support Split-Screen Co-Op On Console? 

    Unfortunately, Payday 2 does not officially support split-screen mode on Xbox or PlayStation. It cannot be accessed on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and other consoles and platforms where Payday 2 is available, except on the PC version. To play Payday 2 with your friends and family for the promised couch-co experience, gamers will need to use picture in picture or some other method of simultaneously streaming two consoles onto one screen.
