Withfewer and fewer games featuring split-screen these days (looking at you, Halo Infinite), it is getting increasingly harder to find excellent co-op experiences you can play alongside a friend on one console, especially in specific genres. The racing genre is a perfect example of one of the few remaining genres that attempt to keep this slowly fading feature in their games.

As games become more demanding and move away from the Xbox One or start removing expected features from the platform, it's easy to lose sight of the immensely fun and exhilarating racing games that thrive on last-gen hardware and offer the experience you are looking for. While the bells and whistles of current-gen are absent, these titles still hold up and are endlessly entertaining to play, which is all that matters in the end.


While there is a more recent release in the series with Trials Rising, Trials Fusion remains one of the best couch co-op racing experiences you can get your hands on. The futuristic setting, the detailed and robust course creator, and the immense sense of speed make for an exhilarating experience that is only enhanced when played alongside a friend.


The uniqueness of Trials' platform and physics-based racing will always be a joy to experience and sink your teeth into. This series continues to have tremendous potential, but Rising seemed to harness it the best, making it the standout choice to represent the capabilities of this franchise.


Instead of patiently waiting for Nintendo to reignite the F-Zero franchise, you should check out Redout. This game is clearly inspired by the series and offers a blazingly fast and unique racing experience. Despite its steep learning curve, Redout is a blast to play, more so if you're sat next to a friend in the game's split-screen co-op modes.


You will constantly upgrade your crafts, making them handle better, go even faster than before, and much more, which makes this game inherently much more complex than most other racing games, but it's worth the time and effort it takes to get the hang of its systems. There is nothing like Redout on the market, making it a must-try for fans of the genre, especially F-Zero.


When in doubt, play Forza Motorsport. It will fill any racing void you may have in your soul. Despite being five years old at this point, Forza Motorsport 7 still looks and performs extraordinarily well on the Xbox One, and its split-screen co-op mode is a dream come true if you and a friend want to kick back and experience one of the best racing sims together.


Unfortunately, this will be the last Forza Motorsport game on the Xbox One, as the next one will be exclusive to the Xbox Series consoles and PC, so enjoy it while it lasts. Forza Motorsport has been a staple of the Xbox for quite some time now, making this entry an expected but well-deserved one.


Moving to a game that's the polar opposite of Forza Motorsport 7, we have the arcade racer Trackmania Turbo. Trackmania Turbo is the perfect split-screen co-op experience, offering one of the well-designed tracks, over-the-top chaos, and adrenaline every single second you're racing.


Trackmania Turbo is calling your name if you're looking for a stakes-free, casual, and relentlessly fun racing game. Aside from its wide range of gamemodes, you can also craft your own tracks to race on, adding near-endless tracks for you to download and race alongside your friends.


Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is a remake of the 1999 classic Crash Team Racing and was released as part of the restoration of the series, which eventually led to an all-new Crash Bandicoot game several years later. While no Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing is still an excellent arcade kart racer that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout the course.


Despite implementing microtransactions, Nitro-Fueled is a faithful recreation of the original that many players know and love from years ago, offering lots of content and endless amounts of exhilaratingly fun kart action. On the Xbox One, there is nothing quite like this game on the market, making it one of the best party split-screen racers out there that's not exclusive to a Nintendo platform.


If Forza Motorsport 7 is your simulation racing game, then Dirt 5 is the more arcadey version of that, making it one of the most accessible racing titles on the Xbox One. Dirt 5 looks excellent, handles smoothly, and offers an immediately fun split-screen racing experience, giving you lots of courses to drive on with a near-endless amount of cars.


In short, if you love driving real-life cars but don't want to worry about adequately tuning them or how to take turns correctly, Dirt 5 is an excellent choice for you. While you won't get the level of quality expected from the Forza series, you will still get fun and interesting courses and a bunch of fast cars to drive around on.


Growing ever more popular by the minute is Formula One Racing, simplified as F1, and F1 22 showcases the beautifully unique design of the F1 cars. The ultra-fast-paced nature of the sport is exhilarating to play and experience, and the Xbox One surprisingly holds up well in terms of visuals, performance, and split-screen capabilities.


F1 22 may seem daunting to many outsiders, but the game can be just as complex as you want it to be, allowing you to tune down the more demanding settings to make it a more welcoming and fun experience for newcomers. If you've ever wanted to dive into F1 with a friend, F1 22 will be as good a place to start as any.


Lastly, we have Riptide GP: Renegade, an exhilarating hyrdojet-based racing game that offers tons of content, in-depth courses, and much more. Each stage will have shortcuts to discover, secrets to find, and death-defying stunts for you to pull off as you speed weave through the water, trying to lose the cops hot on your trail.


Riptide GP: Renegade is an excellent couch co-op experience, allowing you to make use of nearly everything it offers while sitting alongside a few friends. With the unfortunate lack of water-based racing games of late, it's fantastic to see one as fun and engaging as this make its way to the Xbox One.


Kind of weird question...

We use it to race together with my friends and family.

It works great in Grand Turismo: Two players, split screen, each has their racing wheel.

It did not work on F1 2020. Apparently not in 2021 either. One player can use one racing wheel, the other has to use a controller: This is not competitive.

Have they fixed this?


I'm fairly confident this is 'by design' rather than something that is viewed as being needed to be 'fixed'. I get that you'd like this but I suspect that Codemasters judge the number of players with access to two compatible wheels that would really want this is very small. I would.


Our friends at Grand Tursimo support the dual wheel split screen mode, so I'm not sure what supports your confidence in Coadmaster's judgements.

From a developer perspective, it seems easier to define a proper class architecture to support multiple wheels, than to write code to make exception and support only one.






@Ultrasonic_77We use 2 weeks in GT7 at least 4 times per week--begrudgingly--because F1 doesn't support it. We would rather play F1.



That GT7 supports it tells us that there is no fundamental platform limitation to implement it. My post tells us that: Codemasters - if you want me to fork out another $60 for F122, then I need this feature; else I'll keep running my older F1 version.



This is a Yes or No question: Does F1 22 Support 2 wheels or not?


If you have space and money for two steering wheels, you usually use two playstations. If you look at the use of the split screen, it will be in the very single digits. yYou can probably count the ones that have two steering wheels on one hand.


Split-screen games are a type of multiplayer video game that allows two or more players to play on the same screen simultaneously, with the screen split into separate sections for each player. This allows players to compete or cooperate with each other in the same physical space, promoting social interaction and friendly competition.


The split-screen games here on SilverGames come in various genres, including racing games, fighting games, sports games, and cooperative action-adventure games. They provide a unique and immersive gaming experience, as players can see their opponents or teammates' actions in real-time while navigating their own gameplay area. These games often offer a range of gameplay modes tailored for split-screen play, such as competitive matches, cooperative campaigns, or party modes. Players can choose to play against each other, team up to face computer-controlled opponents, or engage in cooperative missions to complete objectives together.


Split-screen games are particularly popular for local multiplayer experiences, allowing friends and family to gather around a single console or computer and engage in multiplayer fun without the need for additional equipment or an internet connection. They provide a nostalgic and social gaming experience reminiscent of classic couch co-op sessions. Enjoy playing the best split-screen games online on Silvergames.com!


Oh wow, 65" is really generous! I remember cramming around a 14" CRT to play 4-player GoldenEye and Mario Kart 64 with friends and thinking that was fine, not sure I could go back to split screen on such a small screen now though haha
