UKismetSystemLibrary::IsSplitScreen

function Engine Blueprint Deprecated Since 4.0

Deprecated: IsSplitScreen was only ever checking if there are more than one local player. Use HasMultipleLocalPlayers instead.

#include "Kismet/KismetSystemLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns whether there are currently multiple local players. Deprecated in favor of HasMultipleLocalPlayers, which has always been the actual behaviour of this function.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Deprecated since UE 5.0 — the engine source notes it only ever checked local player count, not whether split-screen rendering is actually active, which the old name implied incorrectly.
• New code should call HasMultipleLocalPlayers directly; this entry only exists for understanding legacy Blueprint graphs and C++ still calling it.
