Does Grounded Have Splitscreen Co-op?
No, Grounded does not have splitscreen options for those playing on the same screen, so those who want to do co-op will need separate consoles or computers to play together. It’s not been stated whether or not couch co-op will be added to the game in future updates, so while it’s possible, there’s no guarantees that it’ll happen.
