Split Screen for Windows 10

Me and my family liked playing split screen on xbox one and when I upgraded to pc the windows store said Minecraft supported splitscreen but it doesn't so please add 4 player split screen how it would work is 1st player uses keyboard and mouse and the other players use controllers with USBs.

    Please add split-screen. I have TWO kids that made me buy the Windows 10 edition.  Thus I spend a lot of money to find out it can't split the screen?

    No split screen option because kids love to share and take turns. Come on Microsoft, not every person plays on Xbox. PC players want split screen too.

    My computer is way faster than all of my consoles, splitscreen would run better on it than almost any other device. Why can't windows 10 edition do splitscreen? All the bedrock editions are cross compatible, why don't they have the same features?

    You could make many a younger sibling's day with the introduction of this one feature. With built in controller support on the PC version, what's stopping you?

    I expect the population of folk rushing out to buy another PC and copy of the game so their second/third/fourth kids can join in over the home LAN is extremely small/non-existent so who are you helping by not including this feature?

    Very frustrating all around.

    I would agree. It would be cool if they added split screen to Windows 10 edition. Although, if this was added, you would need to be on a laptop with Win10, and air should support HDMI(remember, only if they added this feature). They probably won’t, since PCs and mobile devices seem to lack huge UHD(Ultra HD)  screen size. So, yeah. Also, you can do this on Nintendo switch. Just detach the joy cons, add a second player, and there you have it, but the texts in the split screen when the console is in handheld mode will be hard to read. And that’s why, only consoles should keeps this feature, because... well, they need HDMI UHD TVs to see the game well. But still, I agree with what you’re saying.

    I agree, But by split screen Microsoft means "viewing other tabs while using this one". I would really like for this feature to be added though.

    I find it sad this post was from 2018, and with the millions made off this game they couldn't stop to give pc users a feature that was left out of the game. Greedy...

    I've been playing Minecraft since shortly after it was released and have a real love for the game. As someone who's spent a lot of hours playing I can say authoritatively that the game is genuinely at it's best when played with friends and family. As the minecraft generation grows up and moves from consoles to computers we still want to play this fantastic game with those close to us. I think this is a really important feature and I wanted to take a minute to post here and encourage your team to move forward with it. Please bring local splitscreen to Minecraft for Windows 10.

    This is really stressful. I really thought it would have split screen because it's the same as Xbox One. I use my controller to play but when my friend comes over with his controller then it won't let me connect both. Please add split screen to Minecraft Windows 10.

    It's a bit ridiculous that local multiplayer is not on PC. Please add it !

    I would pay another $5 for this feature. But I have bought this game 3 times now and this should be part of the base game. Could even have to use a Microsoft controller. Just wish it was a feature.

    Bedrock on consoles has this feature. Bedrock on PC does not. This needs to be a thing. How is it not??? I have my PC hooked up to my gaming TV, I don't own any consoles and I have 2 kids that would LOVE to play this game together. The longer this feature stays out of the PC version, the longer it takes for my kids to get into Minecraft... if ever...
