How do I play split screen in the Nintendo Switch Resident Evil 5 demo?

I've seen people playing local coop in split screen with Resident Evil 5. How do you do it in the Nintendo Switch demo?


  1. In the Main Menu, press PLAY GAME
  2. Select EPISODES
  3. Choose NEW GAME or CHAPTER SELECT (choosing new game in this tutorial)
  4. Pick Difficulty
  5. In the next screen that appears, navigate to the top option, GAME TYPE. The default mode should be SINGLE PLAYER
  6. Change the Game Type to SPLIT-SCREEN (last option, press Right twice)
  7. Press START GAME and enjoy local split-screen co-op :)
