How to play Grid 2 split screen on PC
Get Nucleus Co-op
Download Nucleus Co-op, free for Windows 10 and 11, and unzip it into its own folder, for example C:\NucleusCo-op. There is no installer.
Keep it out of Program Files, your user folder and OneDrive.
Install the Grid 2 handler
In Nucleus Co-op, search the Hub for Grid 2 and install its handler, or download the handler file from this page and drop it on the Nucleus window. Then show Nucleus where Grid 2 is installed.
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.
Launch and connect
Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of Grid 2 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.
What you need
- A Windows 10 or 11 PC
Nucleus Co-op runs on Windows only. System requirements
- Grid 2 for Windows
Installed on that PC. Nucleus starts every player's window from that one install.
- Nucleus Co-op, free
With .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later and the Visual C++ 2015–2022 runtimes (x86 and x64). Download
- Something to play with
One controller per player: Xbox, PlayStation or generic pads. Controllers
- A PC that can run 4 copies
Each player runs their own copy of Grid 2, so the PC carries several times the usual load. Lower the graphics settings if it struggles. Performance tips
- A multiplayer mode
Nucleus links the windows through the game's own LAN or online mode; the handler takes care of it.
Handler notes
Once prompted, select the grid2_avx.exe. Once in game, launch an online event session (ignore the connection refused message as the online match will work regardless of this). Once the session has been created, have the other instances connect to the session by selecting quick match. The game supports AI in multiplayer mode and has native split screen in offline mode but 2 players max. Have fun!";
