The Saints Row games only have online coop. They do not have local splitscreen.

The stream you watched was likely putting two separate sessions side by side. The games really do not have that feature.

As to why, there are two main reasons. First of all, it's a matter of feature focus. By implementing splitscreen, other features would be cut or suffer. The other problem is optimization on consoles. We push the console limits of memory and processing power to their max with the games. Doing splitscreen would mean A LOT of scaling back on visual fidelity and possibly gameplay. While strong PCs could handle it, it's just not feasible to work on a feature for only one platform of the game and take other limited dev resources away from other things.

Well the limits thing is not really true, make it like LEGO games make it. Its really powerfull and 2 user friendly. And everyone enjoys it!

Don't believe everything you see on the internet. Although that would be a nice feature. I only (for now) play Saints Row on Xbox (I have all games on my Xbox, but not on PC I dont know how I ended up here) so I would like it for Saints Row 5, but like what you said ninja it would be pretty hard to implement it on consoles. Also lol I saw that this discussion is dated from 2015.

Hi Superdays49! I made this video myself, tested on Nucleus Coop program Windows 7 on my computer. I recorded the gameplay of the game in splitscreen using only one pc and have short tutorial how to make splitscreen running, i´m using a USB doongle connected with two 360 wireless controllers. There are two instances running the game at the same time, while one creates the server the other joins it. And as it is multiplayer lan, computer ends up connecting these two instances. Having 2 Saints Row open requires more Specs on the computer, so I ended up reducing the details of the graphics. But it runs smoothly at 60 frames per second. You can see also on description of the video my hardware.
