Split screen

Sea of Thieves is a graphically intense game with loads of renders, so split screen would double the rendering, it would overload your console most likely.

moreover, to play sot, you need a unique xbox / pc account and to have 2 on one xbox synced to the same instance would just not function well.

overall, there's just not a high enough demand for something like this to be honest, this is the first post in 5 years i have ever seen to talk about a split screen ngl
