Follow up response on X (formerly Twitter):
We incorrectly stated that PlayStation Plus is required for local co-op splitscreen play. Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each player but does not require a PlayStation Plus account.
Original quote from the article:
On PS5 specifically, both split-screen players will need to have an active PlayStation Plus membership and a linked Microsoft account. Steam players will only need to link to a Microsoft account, while Xbox Series X|S players will only need an active Game Pass subscription if they want to play online, as expected.



This was a typo and has been corrected.

If they wanted to correct things they shouldn’t post on shitter.
Still annoying you need a second PlayStation account for guests.
That’s asinine.
I agree that co-op being impossible on Xbox / PlayStation using a guest account is stupid.
