How to play PowerWash Simulator 2 in local split-screen co-op

The split-screen co-op is slightly limited in terms of how many players can play together. However, you don’t have to rely on the internet. You can play with your friend on the same platform.

• Press on the icon in the top-right part of the screen.
• Make sure you have chosen single-player mode.
• You can start split-screen co-op from the bottom of the screen.

To start playing split-screen, you’ll need to attach an extra controller/gameplay to your PC. Split-screen co-op sessions can only take place if you have an additional input method attached to your device. Also, split-screen co-op can only work in the single-player mode.
