Waiting for OP [Bedrock] is it absolutely necessary to link a Microsoft account to play any split-screen on PS5?
For context I’ve been looking to get Minecraft on my relatively new PS5 lately, and I have played it on Xbox before, but I’d really rather keep them separate for a couple reasons.
I’ve been told that I don’t strictly need a Microsoft account linked to play basic singleplayer minecraft which is all I do, but I remember that there is a couple trophies that require at least another guest account playing split screen since the zombie trick doesn’t work. My confusion lies in that the support pages say that I need a linked Microsoft account to play with other people split screen, but it’s rather vague about guest accounts ie. just another “me” with no account proper.
So basically, if I bought Minecraft then simply started up a world without linking a Microsoft account at all, could I still grab a second controller, log in with an offline [username](1) temporary player, and get the hand things to another player trophies?
