Yes—but the kind of two-player play depends on the platform. On one Nintendo Switch, offline play supports two players for 1-on-1 matches, not the story campaign as couch co-op. Xbox also lists two-player local multiplayer, while Steam lists shared/split-screen PvP without specifying a local player count.
What two-player play means in Xenoverse 2
Local play means playing on the same system; it is different from online multiplayer and, on Switch, local wireless play. The official listings give different levels of detail by platform, so their player counts should not be treated as interchangeable.

Two-player options by platform
| Platform | Same-system local play | Other multiplayer options | What the listing establishes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nintendo Switch | 1–2 players offline; shared local multiplayer is limited to 1-on-1 matches. | 2–6 players for local wireless and online play. Nintendo Switch Online membership is required for online play. | Nintendo’s official Canada listing separates offline, local wireless, and online play. |
| Xbox | Local multiplayer for 2 players. | Online co-op and online multiplayer for 2–6 players. | The Xbox store listing confirms local support but does not specify the local mode or setup. |
| Steam/PC | Shared/split-screen PvP is listed; local player count is not stated. | Online co-op is listed. | The Steam listing does not identify which modes use local play or give setup details. |
Can two people play the story together on one console?
The reviewed Nintendo listing establishes same-system offline play for up to two people, but specifies that shared local multiplayer is for 1-on-1 matches only. It does not establish same-console story-campaign co-op. The Xbox and Steam listings cited here also do not provide enough detail to confirm local story co-op.

What to check before playing locally
- Check the store listing for your exact platform and edition; the details are not equally specific across Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Steam.
- For Switch, plan on a 1-on-1 match for local same-system multiplayer. The listing does not state which controller models are required.
- For Switch online play, a Nintendo Switch Online membership is required. This requirement applies to online play, not the listing’s offline mode.
