How to play Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition 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 Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition handler
In Nucleus Co-op, search the Hub for Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition and install its handler, or download the handler file from this page and drop it on the Nucleus window. Then show Nucleus where Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition 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 Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition 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

Installed on that PC. Nucleus starts every player's window from that one install.

- Something to play with
One controller per player: Xbox, PlayStation or generic pads. Controllers
- A PC that can run 8 copies
Each player runs their own copy of Max Payne 3: The Complete Edition, so the PC carries several times the usual load. Lower the graphics settings if it struggles. Performance tips

Nucleus links the windows through the game's own LAN or online mode; the handler takes care of it.
