Want to create a local multiplayer game in Unreal Engine 5? In this tutorial, I walk you through the entire process step by step! From setting up player spawns and configuring game modes to enabling split-screen multiplayer and handling multiple input devices, this video covers it all.

🔹 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Setting up player spawns to prevent collision issues
✅ Dynamically adding players using Level Blueprints
✅ Setting up split-screen mode and managing controllers
✅ Disabling split-screen for a shared camera system
✅ Understanding player indexing and input handling
✅ Fixing UI issues for local multiplayer support
✅ Keeping in mind the performance for multi-viewport rendering

💡 Pro Tips:
Unreal Engine limits local multiplayer to 4 players – learn how to manage them efficiently!
Adding a menu-based system for spawning players instead of a manual key-press approach can improve game logic.
UI must be adapted for multiple players using Add to Player Screen instead of Add to Viewport.

📌 Whether you're making a couch co-op game or testing split-screen multiplayer, this guide will help you get started fast and efficiently.
