Fall Guys should have been invented many years sooner. It's such a fantastically simple concept: Just make Takeshi's Castle into a multiplayer game.

One of the biggest Fall Guys features that fans have been asking for is split screen, of course. So, what is the state of split screen in Fall Guys right now, more than three years after its release? We'll explain to you what the current situation is and what's the best way to enjoy the Fall Guys multiplayer mode.

Playing Fall Guys Split Screen Is Not Supported By Now

Though you obviously can play Fall Guys together with other people, you cannot play Fall Guys in split screen. This is just absurd, of course, as Fall Guys seems almost custom-built to be split screen. It's the perfect game for that kind of fun, but sadly, Epic haven't introduced this feature yet.

It's unlikely that Epic will ever add split screen support for Fall Guys in the future, as they've never issued a statement suggesting they will until today.We went through all the press-releases from the dev team, and there's never been a single message from them that suggests they're even looking into the possibility of split-screen Fall Guys.

As annoying the missing split screen feature may be, the game luckily still offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to playing together. The most important aspect here is probably the crossplay support - it doesn't matter whether you're playing on PlayStation, Xbox, PC or Switch, you can always play with your friends, no matter which device they're using.

So we can only strongly recommend to make use of Fall Guy's crossplay support - if you want to play together with a friend next to you (or online), just make sure they brought their Nintendo Switch or their laptop with them or lend them one of your devices, and then connect in-game and have a great time! The only real difference is that you're looking at separate screens, but you're still playing the same match. And having played many hours of Fall Guys together as EarlyGame team, we can guarantee you, it's still a lot of fun.
