Console question

Coreypeele1ub17_ESO
I haven't found any information or just tired of searching, but does anyone know if you can play with someone else on the same console together? Or do they need their own Xbox and such? Also, anyone know that if Wife and I do the transfer, would it work on the same Xbox? So, if she were to sign into her account and play, would her characters show up as well? Thanks for the help

    I doubt there is any way to split screen for you both the play at the same time. Each Client is instanced to the individual player. Meaning for instance you and your wife could be in the same building looting the same containers and each come out with different stuff just as one example.

    So you would both have to have consoles to play. And, two monitors to play on to see. Although I imagine it would be possible to play from another console and look at one monitor (if you were both in the same phase), the camera would be all screwed up for one of you, as you would be seeing the one instance of the game for the player who is connected to that monitor.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    MMOs have no such luxury on any platform, due to the way MMOs are made andand also in console case - hardware limitations.

    Hardware limitations always makes me laugh.

    A PS3 that had 8 year old hardware ran a game like last of us. A pc from 8 years ago wouldn't be able to.

    You be surprised what a console can pull off because it doesn't have to cater too 50 different graphics cards, processors and other hardware.

    Optimisation can do wonders in the hands of skilled developers.

    I am pretty sure it will not work as long as console has same IP address or if it is in LAN, you have one public IP on the router. I tried it with PC version and it is not working, so console will be the same I presume.

    All stores and on this site it shows players : 1
    This means there is only one player at a time per console or PC

    You cannot play with another person on the same unit/same session
