GTA 5 is like a living legend in the world of video games. I mean, it’s one of those games that everyone talks about when they talk about gaming.
The reason behind GTA 5’s huge success? Well, Rockstar Games nailed it with an incredibly fun and immersive experience. But hey, can you dive into the main story of this game with your pals?
Now, about GTA 5 being a two-player game… You might find the answer a tad surprising. So, why wait? Let Gaming Power Up give you the lowdown on that!
Double jump to specific section!
Can I Play GTA 5 With Another Person?
GTA 5 is a 2 player game only in online modes. This means that two players cannot play GTA 5 on the same console at all. Some say that this impacts the way in how the community perceives the game, but at the end of the day, there isn’t a more successful game than GTA V out there.
Again, there’s no way to play GTA 5 on the same console, whether you play the PlayStation or Xbox version of the game – period!
Can You Play GTA 5 Campaign On the Same Console?
No, you cannot play GTA 5 on the same console with a friend. It is impossible to play the story mode of this game with a friend whether you have a PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and more.
There is no split-screen mode on GTA 5, so doing this would be totally impossible.
Is GTA 5 Story Mode Co-Op Multiplayer?
Not officially. Since GTA V has already been on gaming consoles and computers for almost 10 years, some players have managed to create mods to resemble a co-op experience.
Officially, the story mode is not co-op at all, not even online. But thanks to this unofficial GTA 5 mod, you might as well find a way to play this mode on a modified server with a friend!
Can 2 Players Play GTA 5 On the Same Console?
No. GTA 5 does not have modes to play on the same console. It doesn’t matter if you plug in a second controller – playing on the same console is not possible, not offline, not online.
You might as well get a second console and play with a friend that is in the same house as you, but for this you need two consoles, two controllers, and two TVs – so, you will basically be playing online with each other.
How to Play GTA 5 Story Mode For 2 Players
Playing the main GTA 5 story mode 2 player is totally impossible by official means. As we mentioned before, there’s indeed a mode created by players that you could employ, but it is worth mentioning that this method only works on PC.
Rockstar Games released an official Co-Op mode where you can play with a friend online (doing so on the same console is impossible as well), so let’s see how that works.
Method 1: Play GTA Online Double Downs
Rockstar Games released a new mode called Double Downs, where you and a friend play as Lamar and Franklin.
Both of you will need to survive hordes of enemies and complete heists against NPCs. This mode resembles many missions that can be found in the main Story Mode of GTA V, and it is really fun.
You can learn how to play double-downs on GTA 5 on Rockstargames.com.
Method 2: Download a Co-Op GTA 5 Mod
There’s a wide variety of GTA 5 mods that you can download to play some story missions online.
Nonetheless, these mods are actually very, very unofficial, and sometimes, we don’t recommend using them at all.
Do your own research, and download the mods only if you are sure that they will work for you.
Gaming Summary:
Hey, just to clear things up, GTA 5’s main story isn’t set up for two players at all. But hey, no need to stress! GTA Online is where the multiplayer action’s at, and trust me, it’s an absolute blast.
Also, when it comes to playing GTA 5 on the same console, it’s a no-go, no matter which version you have. Just doesn’t work, no matter what you try.
