Back 4 Blood, a 2021 first-person shooter, has gained popularity across multiple platforms, offering both PvE and PvP modes. As fans of the spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead wonder about its split-screen capabilities, we delve into the disappointing reality.

The PvE experience

In PvE, players unite as Cleaners, a team of post-apocalyptic survivors battling The Ridden, zombie-like monstrosities. Teammates may be either human or AI-controlled based on matchmaking preferences.
