What the pages say
- PlayStation Store (PS4): "1 - 2 players"; the description mentions local co-op.
- Xbox Store: Xbox local co-op (2-2), Single player; no online entry.
- Nintendo eShop US: single system 1-2; no local wireless or online count.
- Steam (2026-11-01): Shared/Split Screen Co-op, Remote Play Together, no online co-op; description: "single player or local co-op". Steam's "Shared/Split Screen" category covers both one shared screen and a split screen, so it does not tell which one this game uses.
Still open
- Whether co-op uses one shared screen or a split screen is not stated on the store pages.
