Does Dying Light 2 Have Splitscreen Multiplayer?

Sorry, for those hoping for some local co-op fun with friends, Dying Light 2 multiplayer is only online. But, to make up for it, there is plenty of freedom to be had with online companions.

  • Players must finish the Markers of Plague quest at the end of the prologue to unlock co-op. Once you are on the rooftop alone after the binoculars tutorial, co-op is unlocked. Once you have cleared Markers of the Plague, open your pause menu. Navigate to the Online menu to see the co-op and multiplayer options for Dying Light 2. From there you can Quick Join games, find lobbies from a server list, check favorite lobbies, check your online friends, and sort your online options. Press any of the Add Friends spots at the bottom of the menu to bring up your friends list. Doing this allows you to invite anyone you choose. You can also press Square/X. Now you’ll be free to go anywhere and do everything with your fellow Pilgrim co-op partner(s).
