When Star Wars: Battlefront 2 came out, it supported split-screen functionalities on consoles but not on the PC. And, as you may have guessed, modders were able to release a mod that restores this mode on our platform.
Created by ‘benji’ and ‘Cade’, the Split Screen mod fully restores the split screen mode that is present on consoles. Moreover, it adds an extra ‘ENTER SPLIT SCREEN’ button in the singleplayer pause menu which reloads the current offline map in split screen mode (and crashes if you try to use it in an online match).
Those interested can download the mod from here. In order to install this mod, you’ll need the Frosty mod manager that you can download from here. The modders have also released the following screenshots to showcase their Split Screen mod.
Enjoy!

I will never understand why companies like EA remove this from the main game.
It’s used by some, it’s likely harder to remove than otherwise and it’s not like PC folk are paying online play to discourage it.
I f’ing hate so much when they remove split screen on PC, why the f’k do that? You can have more power on PC and you will be less likely to sacrifice framerate by doing it. It worked great in Gears of War 4, I had a blast playing the campaign in coop. Xinput exists now, get with the times EA.
the reason is if 2 ppl playing on one device thats only one game sold . BUT if they wanna play together then both will buy the game . double the profit .
And we need 4 split and smaller maps for local matches!
Sounds like more troublesome to remove it than to just keep it in. I would use this on my Home Theater Gaming PC with a 60″ 4K TV.
The fact this doesnt have splitscreen by default is another reason to not support EA.
That’s pretty cool, kinda peaked my interest more for this game now. I wonder how long will it take for all the major publishers to realise that computers are no longer a solo use machine as it was once perceived as. It’s so much more convenient to hook up a PC to a living room space now with all the available hardware and software. Just having the option would be nice, even if not many people use it.
The top comment made a good point. Seems like they’re putting in more effort to remove the feature rather than to keep it. If you ask me it seems like a deliberate move just to make people purchase more copies per household. Not many gamers are colour blind but at least some developers acknowledge those people.
Well yes, but some people like myself prefer to buy most games on PC simply because of its openness and its moddable nature, among many other things. Again that’s another typical publisher move to encourage people to buy the console versions over the PC.
There’s virtually nothing a PC can’t do which consoles can and I’m sure it takes little effort and time from the companies to allow for certain console-only features to make it onto the PC. Valve managed to put a lot of effort into Big Picture Mode for the niche audience and they plan to make an overhaul update on the UI soon. The Family Sharing service was a nice touch too. Kinda wish I can see those same efforts on other clients.
