Split Screen ( a dying practice?)

It's cool as a teen with limited budget but as an adult you should own enough TVs, computer monitors, notebooks and consoles to set up multiple gaming systems.

Why play splitscreen on one display when you can simply set up a temporary monitor next to your TV so everyone can have their own display?

Splitscreen is definitely the inferior choice here.

So buy two TVs, two ps5 consoles and two copies of the same game???  No.

Obviously not lol

I own three TVs (soon four), one monitor and have permanent access to two more monitors that my wife uses to work from home (property of her employer but whatever). Add to that my notebook which obviously comes with its own screen.

As for gaming platforms, I have an Xbox One, an Xbox One X, an Xbox Series X, a notebook and a PC that both can play modern games on lower to medium settings. Plenty of options to choose from (crossplay between X1 and Series, crossplay between X1 and PC, crossplay between Series and PC or using only PC/notebook or Xbox One/Xbox One X where no crossplay is needed).

Lastly, on Xbox you only need one copy to play on two different systems. Same is true for subscriptions such as Game Pass which can be shared on two platforms without any extra cost.

Now I can couch co-op/MP any game that offers a MP mode instead of just the tiny library of split-screen games.
