'Profile Not Allowed to Play on Xbox Network' Error in Local Split-Screen (BO6, Xbox Series S)

Thank you for your response, Alvaro. I've followed the steps you suggested, but the issue persists. I'll follow up with Activision.

Hi Yetti5521,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues playing multiplayer. There are four requirements to play split-screen in Black Ops 6:

Both players need Activision accounts

Playing Black Ops 6 on PS5 or Xbox One Series X / S (current gen consoles)

You need a second input method, such as an additional controller or mouse and keyboard

Have an active internet connection (with online service subscription)

There are a few restrictions in Black Ops 6’s split-screen mode:

Only available in multiplayer and zombies — you cannot play the campaign in split screen

Multiplayer is limited to matchmaking versus bots

Before you try to play split-screen, make sure you meet all of the aforementioned requirements above.

From there, here’s how to play split-screen in Black Ops 6:

Enter either “Multiplayer” or “Zombies”.

Connect a second controller (or mouse and keyboard) and press “A” in your Xbox controller respectively when the prompt appears in the upper right.

Sign into your Activision account for the second player.

Start your multiplayer or zombies game.

If there's a split screen option or LAN (Local area network) they can play together without gold otherwise it is considered online play even if they are on the same console so they would need gold in order to play together. I have been through this with
my kids as well. They aren't allowed online to young imo so they have to stick with games that allow split screen or co-op without having to be online or a gold member.

We are seeing the same thing with one of our family XBOX LIVE profiles. Everything works on public, but this is with local split screen play.

Redownloaded profile and it did not fix it. Help!

There are a lot of games with single player experiences and games that allow Split-Screen local multiplayer without a need for a Gold subscription.

According to the store page, Rocket League should have a local Split Screen option, that doesn't require a Gold membership.

Make sure you or your kid chooses a game mode that allows local split screen play. That way you won't need a Gold membership.

However, if your grandchild wants to play online against multiple other players, a Gold membership is necessary.
