Rocket League Enable Split Screen

What is Rocket League Split-Screen?

Rocket League combines the thrill of monster trucks with the excitement of soccer, where vehicles are used to score goals against each other in a 3D stadium. Released by Psyonix in 2015 for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4, it was later made available on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The game supports both single-player and multiplayer modes, accessible online and offline, making split-screen play a key feature for local multiplayer gaming. Up to four players can compete simultaneously on one screen, offering a shared and engaging experience.
