Split screen, 2 controllers

[Zengar]

So, what is going on? I definitely remember seeing this working exactly as it did on Div os 2. I purchased the game to play exactly this way with my wife, but when we start the game and try to use a controller, we get a pop up message that says to change the input mode to controller in the options menu and that that is the only way to play local co-op. Fine, but the option is nowhere to be found, and a quick search here shows many thread saying that there is no controller nor local co op support?
Am I dreaming? is there something I'm missing? please help. I want to know if there is no way to play it like this, as I don't want to miss my 2 hour window to refund.
Thanks!

Split-screen is not available/implemented for EA. Might also not be available on launch, but soon after.

Evolving backwards...

Will be available upon full release. This is, in fact, the primary reason they haven't announced when the Xbox version will be ready due to difficulties getting the split screen functionality to work on that platform.

Xbox series S to be specific. Its hardware a hardware issue. I read MS requires any game published for the more powerful hardware also needs to be running on the less powerful. Which likely adds limitations or extra developement time when coding for both.

The lack of split screen in modern games is very disappointing, but this was specially so, as there is no other turn based rpg with split screen (that I know of). And it's a surprise, considering it was available on early builds of the game.
I'm happy to hear at least that will be implemented on release.

No controller support/CS yet. I created a custom controller profile in steam which makes the game playable but a bit challenging to manage, mainly with the inventory system. I haven't been back to it in awhile because of this, but apparently CS will be implemented on release (along with PS5/Xbox).

Really looking forward to having split screen. That's the difference between 'yet another game' and something I'll keep returning to.

Certainly provides replayability by playing with friends even tho the content itself is repeating. It worked really well in DoS2, play your solo run and then mess around with buddies.
