Multiplayer is available in Divinity: Original Sin 2 in both online and offline versions. Players may enjoy split-screen "couch co-op" or join online sessions from other players, or any combination therein.
Please note there's no cross-platform multiplayer: Those playing on PC cannot play with PS4 or Xbox One Players, and PS4 and Xbox One cannot cross-play across platforms either.
Offline Multiplayer in DOS:2
- Local co-op (Couch co-op) is capped at 2 players.
- In order to play split-screen, players will need to have two controllers, as you cannot play with keyboard/mouse for one person and controller for another person.
- Launch the game on the host account, and have the secondary controller press start to begin playing.
- The host account makes progress, and the second account plays a Custom character (not a companion) but does not make progress on their own campaign.
- Cooperative play has competitive elements, such as distribution of gold and loot not being automatic, and disagreements on quest progression triggering an in-game dispute.
Online Multiplayer in DOS:2
- Local co-op (couch co-op) is capped at 2 players. So 2 players can share the same screen, and a further 2 players can join them via Online.
- In order to play online, players will have to create or join a lobby hosted by another player (or player group)
- As with split-screen, progress is made in the host campaign and not in the local campaign of the character.
- To join another player's party, simply have someone host the game and find their unique Lobby Name on the Multiplayer screen.
- As with keyboard/mouse players, split screen co-op players may also host and join online multiplayer games. (you can play split screen and join online multiplayer)
AnonymousWhat if you started multiplayer, and now your other person no longer wants to play. How can you add that character to yours, so you don't need to toggle back and forth trying to move two characters? Instead, it will just follow you like the other companions.

to the question right below, any friends characters are when no one is online is controlled by the host of the game and act as a typical npc companion with no dialogue interaction.
Make whoever plays the game the most the host.

Question: We have 4 Players who want to play the game, but all 4 rarely can play at the same time. Can we create a save with 4 custom characters (one for each player) and still play with only 3 people sometimes? What happens with the 4th character, is it not loaded, standing around like "afk" or can it be controlled by the other players?

This co-op is even worse than dark souls 3... How hard can it be to make an co-op where both players can save and continue to progress on their own if they want? Shame...

Switch does not have split screen co-op unfortunately, it does have a multi player in the arena mode, you only need one controller regardless of the number of players.

How many online games can one switch system host. For example, I have an online game with one friend, can I host another different game with another friend without overwriting the pre-existing game? Or can I only host one game at a time.

Can someone utilize the split-screen co-op feature AND play on an online multiplayer server? I have yet to get a straight answer.

If me and a friend already create a game and create custom characters, will an other friend be able to create a custom character after we start? or will he only be able to be the ones with back stories?

Multiplayer is hosted by one player, and the characters are determined by the savegame being loaded. It is not possible to use one character between different saves. Only the characters created for the save are available. Created characters cannot be kicked in the same way as NPC companions, meaning a full player created party has no ability to swap out characters at all.
As such the best means of enabling character switching for drop in drop out multiplayer is to not create a full party at the start of the game, instead using the NPC companions as vessels for the temporary players' characters.
Hi, on PS4 is it possible to play with my brother not in the same house and without buy 2 copies of the game (maybe via Share Play)? The guest/host character save his progression in the main account (who buy the game)? Thanke you
