Best Split-Screen PS5 Games in Kenya 2026: True Split-Screen & Local Alternatives

“Split-screen” is often used loosely to mean any game that two people can play on one TV, but technically there are two different experiences. True split-screen divides the display into separate views, while shared-screen local multiplayer keeps everyone on the same camera or playfield. This guide separates the two so buyers searching for the best split-screen PS5 games in Kenya know exactly what they are getting.

True split-screen PS5 games in the Infinite Tech catalogue

Official PlayStation information explicitly describes Borderlands 4 as supporting 2-player split-screen on PS5. PlayStation’s Gran Turismo 7 documentation also refers to its two-player Split Screen mode.

Best split-screen shooter: Borderlands 4

Borderlands 4 is the strongest split-screen recommendation for two players who want a substantial game rather than short versus matches. Two people can explore, fight and chase loot together on one PS5. At KSh 6,500, it is more expensive than party titles, but the deeper campaign and progression can justify the price for a regular co-op pair.

Best split-screen racing game: Gran Turismo 7

Gran Turismo 7 at KSh 5,500 is the natural option for two people who want to race each other locally. It also works as a strong single-player racing game, giving it value beyond the split-screen mode. Racing fans should compare it with our Best Racing Games on PS5 guide.

Best shared-screen local alternatives

Not every excellent local multiplayer game needs to divide the TV. These games support multiple people locally while keeping players in a shared view or game presentation:

• Overcooked! All You Can Eat – KSh 4,350: up to four local players cooperating in shared kitchens.
• Sackboy: A Big Adventure – KSh 4,900: up to four local players in cooperative platforming.
• EA SPORTS FC 26 – KSh 4,700: official PlayStation listing supports 1–4 players; football uses a shared match view.
• TEKKEN 8 – KSh 5,100: two players compete on the same fighting stage.
• WWE 2K26 – KSh 7,250: official listing supports 1–4 players locally.

Split-screen vs shared-screen: which is better?

Neither is automatically better. Split-screen is useful when each player needs an independent camera, such as racing or first-person exploration. Shared-screen works better when all players should see the same action, such as fighting, football or a cooperative kitchen.

Best cheap local multiplayer options

If your real goal is simply to play together on one PS5, you do not need to insist on split-screen. Overcooked, FC 26 and Sackboy all fit below KSh 5,000 and may provide more accessible local fun than a more expensive true split-screen title.

What you need for split-screen gaming

• At least two compatible DualSense controllers.
• A game mode that explicitly supports local players.
• A TV large enough to keep divided views comfortable where true split-screen is used.
• Any required account, internet or subscription setup for modes that depend on online services.
