With the release of Version 1.0 so close, 7 Days to Die is looking to take the player experience to a whole new level. It will be introducing many new features, from new custom characters to whole new 3D character models with new animations. Players are also super excited to play the game.
However, version 1.0 of the game is also going to scrap a few features that players enjoyed in the game. One of the most popular things that is going to be removed is the split-screen feature for both consoles. This has made players angry, and they are showing their frustration on various platforms.
7 Days to Die’s Players Are Not Happy With Removal of One Mechanic
7 Days to Die is a very popular horror game that players all across the world like to enjoy playing with their friends and loved ones. The game has many cooperative features that make it stand out from the rest of the survival games; Split-Screen (on Consoles) is one of them. However, with Version 1.0, Developers at The Fun Pimps have scrapped this excellent feature.
The Fun Pimps’ main reason for the removal of the split-screen feature is due to technical limitations and memory issues. However, this is not a good enough reason to stop players from getting angry. After hearing the news, many console players were not happy and started asking various questions.
Version 1.0 is coming to PC & Console with hundreds of new Trader Voice Over lines. We had a well-dressed and polished recording session with our #1 purveyor of grade “A” armor, Trader Joel voiced by @JimForonda. Here is a behind the scenes Video.https://t.co/3hyoD2u7RL pic.twitter.com/FSFlXcLguC

The community is not leaving any chance to ask about the feature. Recently, 7 Days to Die announced that the Trader is getting many new voice lines, making the interaction with the character more engaging and fun. Amidst all the good pieces of information, players still remember the removal of the split-screen feature and ask the developers to add it again in future updates.
Quick question you probably wont even acknowledge… is it true that console will no longer have split screen? Cos that was my favorite part

Players are sad that they are officially ending support for split-screen.

Players are obviously frustrated but they are demanding the developers add the feature back. It remains to be seen if the developers at The Fun Pimps will add the feature in future updates if the technical issue (memory constraints) is resolved.
Development Challenges and High Expectations From Players
The Fun Pimps has shown in the past that it is willing to listen to player feedback and make changes to keep the feedback in mind. However, players also need to realize that the complexities of game development have also become very difficult. If the real reason behind the removal was actually technical issues, players can only hope that the issue is resolved soon.
As the debate for the feature gets more heated, one thing remains clear: split-screen multiplayer has a special place in the hearts of 7 Days to Die fans. Whether the feature will make its return in future updates or become a beloved relic of the game’s past, it is evident that it has left a mark on player experience.
In the end, players need to adapt and explore the upcoming Version 1.0 (July 25th) solo or make a new alliance online to survive in the harsh wasteland.
