The option is still there. Check that the Player Limit is greater than the number of players in the lobby so that an additional player is allowed to join. You can find it under Social > Manage Party.
Also, make sure the game recognises the controller by testing if inputs made using it make the game switch to controller prompts, or test through whatever other way you know.

On the lobby screen where you can see the player names, check under the names of the players if you see either a text that says “Add Controller For Split Screen” or a button that says “ACTIVATE SPLITSCREEN”.


If you don’t see either, increase the party Player Limit from Social > Manage Party, as mentioned in my previous comment.


If you see “Add Controller For Split Screen” but you have a controller connected already, then the controller might not be recognised. Check on Steam that the controller layout the game is using is mapped to controller inputs, not keyboard inputs. If you’re using any controller that isn’t a PS4 controller, you likely need to enable Steam Input for the game. Follow this:
  • Find the game through your Steam library, right-click it, then go through: Properties… > Controller. Change the setting for: Override for Call of Duty: Black Ops III to “Enable Steam Input”. This emulates all controllers as Xbox controllers for BO3.
For a PS4 controller, you can alternatively disable Steam Input for the game. Follow one method from below:
  • Find the game through your Steam library, right-click it, then go through: Properties… > Controller. Change the setting for: Override for Call of Duty: Black Ops III to “Disable Steam Input”. This stops Steam from emulating PlayStation controllers as Xbox controllers for BO3.
  • Go through: Steam Settings > Controller. Find the setting: PlayStation Controller Support and set it to “Not Enabled”, and make sure Steam Input is not enabled for BO3 by following the first method and making sure the setting is not set to “Enable Steam Input”. This stops Steam from emulating PlayStation controllers as Xbox controllers for all your Steam games for which you haven’t overridden their settings to enabled Steam Input.


If you see a button that says “ACTIVATE SPLITSCREEN”, then simply click it with your mouse to connect the splitscreen player.
