Hello

Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. I understand you're having trouble adding a player to a game is that correct? What game is it that we are talking about. Usually for most co-op play or splitscreen you will need to have
each player signed into a valid Microsoft Account. Some games do give you the option to add a guest. Let us know with a reply a few more details regarding this situation to determine how to best assist you.

Looking forward to your reply.

Firstly you will need to find a game that supports split screen.

Then how you go about adding a second player will vary from game to game.

If you let us know which game you are wanting to play with 2 people I'm sure someone will be able to tell if you if it supports local multiplayer or not, and how to start a local multiplayer game.

You need to find games that include support for split screen games or allow you to take turns (eg Pinball FX3). Google "xbox one split screen games" for URL's that can help you find split screen games.

Good luck!

Hi Squire, couple of questions

Does your son have a Xbox Live Gold account?

Has he added any friends who also have Xbox Live Gold accounts?
