During this week\u2019s Nintendo Direct for the title, splitscreen multiplayer for Kirby Air Riders actually wasn\u2019t mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Our first look at splitscreen was posted via a screenshot on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KirbyAirRiderJP\/status\/1958695637354258936\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">social media<\/a>, which shows four players going up against each other.

When playing like that, you can decide between vertical or horizontal splitting.<\/p>\n<p>Kirby Air Riders will also support other multiplayer options. With local wireless play, up to eight players can battle against each other. Online multiplayer actually extends things further by increasing the player count to sixteen. Like other Nintendo Switch 2 games, GameChat is supported so that you can connect with your friends via video or voice chat.<\/p>\n<p>Kirby Air Riders launches for Nintendo Switch 2 on November 20, 2025.
