To add two players on Xbox, start by turning on both controllers. Sign the second controller into a profile by pressing the Xbox button and selecting ‘Add new.’ From the home screen, launch a game that supports multiplayer. Choose the option for a local multiplayer or split-screen mode, and the second player should press A to join. Ensure both profiles have active Xbox Live accounts if playing online.
