Does Black Ops 7 have co-op split screen: breakdown by game modes, explained

Black Ops 7, like many other modern shooters, is reviving the age-old couch co-op experience that allows multiple players to experience the game in split-screen.

But the latest CoD imposes certain limitations on the mode, which can muddy the waters as to what you can actually play in split-screen. So, if you were wondering about that, here's all you need to know.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 includes two split-screen modes, one for Multiplayer, and the other for Zombies. These two modes can be played by two players running current-gen consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners have been left out), provided they both own the game. PC players are barred from split-screen, too.

To do so, you need to go to the Multiplayer or Zombies screen, then press A or X on a second controller to log the other player in. Once that's done, you can run the game in split screen co-op.

Many players have wondered if Black Ops 7 has a campaign co-op split-screen mode, and the answer is no. Unfortunately, the campaign can only be run in online co-op, and currently has no way to be played in split-screen. Why this was implemented in such a way is anyone's guess, but perhaps Activision will heed the calls of players and introduce a split-screen mode for the campaign as well.

As things stand, you'll only be able to play Multiplayer and Zombies in split-screen, on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and X.
