Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) Xbox 360 — No Split-Screen

The Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) does not support split-screen multiplayer. Only single-player and online (Xbox Live) modes exist.

NFS Games on 360 WITH Split-Screen

• Need for Speed Carbon (2006) — 2-player split-screen, Canyon Duel mode
• Need for Speed Undercover (2008) — 2-player split-screen, cops vs. racers
• Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (2010) — No local split-screen (online only)

Why Most Wanted 360 Lacked It

The 360 port was a rushed launch-title upscale of the PS2/Xbox original. Split-screen was cut to meet launch deadline and maintain framerate on the new hardware.

For local racing on 360, Carbon is the superior Most Wanted-era choice.
