Does Minecraft Legends support split screen? Multiplayer and co-op details

Much like Dungeons, Minecraft Legends is steering the franchise into a new genre. Come April 18, 2023, Legends will take fans on an action-strategy adventure against the piglins. Set as a less daunting entry to the Action RTS genre, Legends is a unique take on combat that Minecraft will be familiar with. Priced at $39.99 for the standard edition or $49.99 for the deluxe edition, it is a complete game, not just a minor expansion. While it can be enjoyed with friends, here are the complete details.

Minecraft Legends will support online co-op but not split screen

While Minecraft Legends does support multiplayer and co-op it does not support split-screen gameplay. This is primarily due to the nature of the HUD in RTS games that aren’t easy to optimize for split-screen. However, players on different accounts can hop in and out of each others’ sessions to take on challenges together.

The game also supports PvP, with up to eight players in a lobby who are split into two teams of four. In this mode, all resources are shared by teammates, making for a much more challenging and coordinated quest for victory.

What PC specs are needed to run the game?

Legends isn’t exactly a demanding title only needing a GTX 1060 at the recommended spec:
