Two-Player Local Split-Screen!

Will this be part of the PS4 version of the game?

are these screenshots from xbox one or from the pc version?

I love u ARK DEVS!

This is a feature I have missed in many hit titles. (GTA V, especially)
The solo play feature isn't fun when hanging out with friends, trying to chill. Not everyone can afford ten computers/xboxs, so thanks!!!

These Devs make so many of my dreams come true. Incredibly addictive Dino survival game that I can play with my wife at home? The ONLY thing that could make it better is dual monitor support so we both can have our full screen. 

I would buy this game 3x over to play dual monitor local coop on my PC right now. I would throw money at this cause. 

You devs, stay awesome.

You can connect controllers to a PC, just so you know.

Yeah splitscreen is for PC and Xbox One. That was a little mistake in the Gamespot article

And yes it will work with mouse-keyboard too -- one player can use the mouse/keyboard in one of the screens, the other player can use gamepad. So you can use splitscreen with just one gamepad if you want! (or two gamepads, etc)

Really? be realistic please, I bought gamepad only for ARK, DON'T WORK BECAUSE ISN'T XBOX GAMEPAD!

Change the "Steam Store Info" Full Controller Support

or

Add Full Controller Support !

Please...

Ahhh! I'm so excited for this, I'll finally have reason to hook my computer up to the TV instead of my tiny monitor! Question though, would I be able to use two controllers at once with PC? How would that work, I've never tried to use my Xbox 360 controllers with my PC, so I don't know how it would work. 

It should work.

I currently have 4 ps3 controllers hooked up to my pc via bluetooth (or I can use usb), and the way I have them set up my pc thinks they are actually Xbox 360 controllers.

I have used all four controllers at the same time on several games without any problems.

@Jat According to these two articles, the split-screen functionality will be limited to Xbox One.  Which is correct?  I really really hope to see this for PC as well.

wait, only xbox? what about ps4?

Fantastic news! Already have my xbox controller (PC compatible variant) and have used it on many PC games. I was rather envious of the news that xbox would have split screen - So-o-o-o glad you devs will be supporting this feature on the PC.  Truly Outstanding!

is it also going to be on ps4?

well, they do say consoles, so.....

I feel like ps4 will have the split screen too but honestly you won't know til closer to release. I have a feeling when its close to full release a lot of ps4 stuff will get talked about.

I hope so.

Will you be able to play on a dedicated server? Or more to the point will you be tethered or not?

Devs..........you have done an AMAZING job at this and I completely commend you for all of the efforts. However, this is THE problem (if there is one to be had) with this game. Tethering is quite "old school", although I do understand the loading zone argument of this debate. However, there are multiple games that push the graphics to the limit that are completely un-tethered. I do not prefer playing on dedicated for right now as I learn, however my friends do not all care to join me in my non-dedicated (cant blame them) because we basically cant get anything done in an efficient manner. This.....will be (if there is to be one) the down fall of this. I for one, will still play, but will just simply wait until it fully releases before I feel comfortable putting in hours upon hours into a character, as I want to ensure that all of this will not be wiped. I would still like to play with friends and tethering is NEVER going to allow this. Please respond in regards to this.

Will the split be horizontal only or will it include vertical?

Will this work on online servers if not i hope it will be availble in a later update ?

I have been reading up on this game on Steam. The fact they are going to add a splitscreen is a big selling point.

With the Steam Link (I own) and Steam Machines they are bringing PC gaming into the living room. So hopefully the feature will become standard in future PC games.

As soon as I hear splitscreen is working and an available feature I will be buying this game.

I have ark on Xbox one and I want know how to set up split screen does anyone know how 

Any news on if I will be able to play split screen on my dedicated server (my 2nd xbox)

And Halo 5 couldn't do it.... Not every game is as ambitious as Ark thats for sure!

But can you guys take of the tethering on non dedicated servers or add more meters because me and my friends are bothered about it. And that's why because we only have one Xbox one to make any dedicated server.
