In a big blow to the PC community, EA has confirmed a news that no PC gamer wanted to hear. Star Wars:Battlefront will not offer support for split-screen co-op on PC. Split-screen co-op will be available on both Xbox one and Playstation 4, as expected.
In a Q&A posted on the Star Wars: Battlefront website, EA stated, “Split-screen will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only.” However you can only play split-screen during Missions, the only mode which supports co-op split-screen.
This isn’t a surprise that EA have opted not to include split-screen co-op, reinforces that PC gaming is viewed differently by publishers and developers, compared to console gaming, despite some big companies like Valve are attempting at making PC gaming even more mainstream by moving the platform into your living room. With Steam Machines and the Steam Link launching later this year, more and more PC gamers will take to playing their machines on their TV where co-op split-screen would certainly work and be useful.
