With the release of Rainbow Six Extraction, many console players are wondering whether the game can be played in split screen mode.
Previous games similar to the R6 franchise have been split screen, so it's no wonder that many are asking these types of questions.
Triple takedown in Rainbow Six Extraction! Super fun.

Is Rainbow Six Extraction Split Screen?
No, Rainbow Six Extraction cannot be played in Split Screen.
Unfortunately for players, with the way that R6 is designed, a split screen mode would make the game unfair.
For example, playing on split screen while on different teams defeats the stealth purpose, and even being on the same team makes it possible to see more than one angle.
The only split screen game in the R6 franchise was Rainbow Six Vegas, but that feature hasn't returned to the series since the release of the R6V games and wasn't present in Rainbow Six Siege.
For those looking to play with friends, they'll have to do it within an online mode. This means that everyone in your squad will need their own console and pay to play online.
