Technical Details

How A Way Out Online Play Works

A Way Out supports 2-player online co-op through a free trial system similar to It Takes Two. One player owns the game, the other downloads the free trial. Cross-generation works (PS3/PS4, Xbox 360/One), but no crossplay between different platforms.

A Way Out Solo & Offline Play

A Way Out can technically be played solo by controlling one character, but it's designed for two players and many sequences require coordination that's extremely difficult alone.

A Way Out Local Co-Op & Split Screen

Yes, A Way Out supports full local split-screen co-op on all platforms. Two players share one screen using two controllers.

Known Issues & Limitations

No crossplay between different platforms. PlayStation and Xbox players are separated. PC players are on their own platform. The free trial system works well but is limited to platform families.
