About Lethal Company Split-Screen

Lethal Company is a co-operative horror game where players work for a corporation collecting scrap on abandoned moons to meet profit quotas. Its blend of tension and comedy made it a viral hit in late 2023.

The game natively supports up to 4 players online, and the Nucleus handler brings this to local split-screen with minimal setup. It is one of the easiest Nucleus configurations available.

Lethal Company has a thriving mod community using BepInEx. Popular mods like MoreCompany (which increases player count) and various quality-of-life mods work in the Nucleus split-screen setup.

The game's frequent updates have occasionally broken the handler temporarily, but the community provides rapid updates. It is consistently one of the most active games on the SplitScreen.Me game setup library.
