Troubleshoot Split Screen Not Working In BO6

@Treyarch After your last BO6 update, I can’t play split-screen with my kid. Every time I press X to join, it kicks me out—so frustrating. On top of that, I can’t properly edit my weapon sets. This is such a crappy experience. Never had these issues in MW3. pic.twitter.com/9HC0yqXgJU

You can try a few steps to troubleshoot the ongoing issue with the consoles while loading Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
- Restart the Game
This kind of issue sometimes arises when the game data is not loaded correctly on launch. You can try reloading the game again with a stable internet connection.
- Update the Console
When the game introduces a new update, sometimes the outdated consoles might not line up with the game’s latest features. In that case, you must check whether the console is up to date.
- Check Activision Account
An Activision account is necessary to use the split screen function because both players should have their accounts on Activision. You can ensure both the players are correctly logged in to the account.
