how do i assign player 1, player 2 , player 3 (i want them in a specific order)

I'm afraid there's not a way to assign a specific position.

Hey There,

Usually it is in order of gamepad connection or the way they join your lobby.

My advice is to remember the order you turned on the controllers and the order you logged those Guest profiles on the console

Controller 1 is Player 1, so he should be the first to join the lobby.

Controller 2 is Player 2, so he should be the second to join the lobby.

Controller 3 is Player 3, so he should be Third to join the lobby.

Usually, Split Screen games associate the top left corner to Player 1.

The Top-right to Player 2. The Bottom Left to Player 3, and the bottom right to Player 4.

Some games choose a bigger screen for player one when playing with 3 players on the same screen.

So it will be.

Player 1 on the bigger screen.

Player 2 on the bottom left.

Player 3 on the bottom right.

Hope this helps.

Have you tried to login to the guest account through the Xbox 360 emulator? pressing both the menu buttons in at the same time from either controller will bring up the xbox 360 guide doing that with the second controller might allow you to sign in as a guest.

If not then it could be game specific I tried to assign player 2 on my Xbox One as the guest for NBA: Jam On Fire Edition and Gears of War 3. On NBA: Jam OFE it would not allow me at all to assign player 2 as a guest but would still allow the second controller
to play just with no account or guest, On GoW 3 it did but I had to do it in-game by pressing the Y button and then assigning player 2 as guest then it took me back to the main menu and I had to press start on player 1 and player 2 showed up as my guest with
the usual [1].

I never faced that problem. Diconnect the wired controllers first. Now if you want the wired ones to be Player 3 and Player 4, just the the 2 wireless ones first so that they are assigned Player 1 and Player 2. So the next controllers you connect will have
to be Player3 and Player 4. This way you can adjust the Player number you want to each controller. Hope this helps

Hi davvemusic,

Thank you for coming to the forums, I'd be happy to help.

Usually most fighting games that you want to play split-screen on the same Xbox require that each controller be signed into two different accounts. So player 1 with controller 1 needs to sign into an account, and player 2 with controller 2 will need to be
signed into their own account too. Then, when you are on the multiplayer screen in game, you should see both profiles detected as player 1 and player 2.

Another reason this is happening is that both controllers are assigned to the profile logged in as player 1. Xbox controller settings also allow a controller to automatically sign in and assign to a specific account once the controller turns on. Also make
sure that Co-pilot settings are turned off to prevent two controllers from being assigned to one profile.

Best way to assign controller's to the profile's is to go into your games and apps library and opening the Xbox Accessories app. Select the controller and scroll down to the 3 dots for more options. From here you can assign the controller to profile 1 (player
1) and profile 2 (player 2).
