How to play 30XX split screen on PC

Take a seat
Each player presses a button on their own controller to join and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.
Playing with several keyboards and mice? Press End once everything is in place to give each window its own cursor.
Launch and connect
Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of 30XX per player and lays the windows out on your screen. Then link them in game, usually one player hosts a LAN or online session and the others join it. The handler notes say how.

Handler notes

READ the handler notes in the UI very carefully. Only working with the Steam version. This game already has local co-op but it is shared screen and the map gets very tiny when you separate too much, with this you can have your own screen per player all the time. Fun Mega Man Clone.

You can even launch 4 instances if you want to compete vs other 2 players in a speedrun or something.
