Vertical split screen is being added to Portal Knights as part of Update v 1.1, coming soon to both PC and console! We know this is a popular request, so it's happening... 😉
Prefer horizontal split screen? Not a problem! You'll be able to pick a layout from the 'Settings' option in game.

This is a beta update! Please only use this version if you were affected by one of the bugs in the list below. Before switching to this branch please backup your save files!
In order to switch to this beta version right click on Portal Knights in your Steam library and choose the beta tab. Open the dropdown list and select “portal_knights_beta”
Additions • Option to toggle the split screen direction • Host player can kick players now by right clicking their name on the map screen and choose “kick”. This kick is connected with a ban for the gamesession. After closing and reopening the session the kicked player can join again. • Confirmation message for the Back to Title button • New active portal VFX
Fixes • Fixed: Broken or lost Characters after Crash or sudden disconnect in multiplayer sessions • Fixed: Massive lags and stuttering while playing multiplayer. These fixes should improve the overall network traffic. Up to now we have recommended an upload speed of 2Mb/S for the hosting player. With these fixes we now lower the recommended upload speed to about 1Mb/S. However while these fixes improve the gameplay stability in multiplayer sessions for now they may cause longer loading screens on faster internet connections as we’ve had to set an upper bound for the upload speed. This will be changed in the next update. Please also keep in mind that larger island sizes will still end in longer loading times. • Fixed: Full screen is not working correctly • Fixed: Players can’t use the Steam UI to join sessions directly • Fixed: Random Players can join Friends Only game sessions • Fixed: Game crashes in rare cases when certain talents have been used • Fixed: User is not able to put items into chests while their backpack is full
