Electronic Arts announced that they have temporarily disabled split screen on XBox One since it is causing game to freeze.
We noticed that playing Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 in split screen mode was causing the game to freeze up for some players on Xbox One during EA Access.
To make sure you get the most out of your trial time, we have temporarily disabled split screen play on Xbox One during EA Access. We’ll keep you updated as we work on a fix.
This bug only affects players on Xbox One during the EA Access trial. All split screen game modes will be available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 at launch next week.
