(PS4) In Local Coop, players can only use P1's characters
After today's game update on PS4, when playing with two players locally, the game does not find any previous saves. You can play them solo, but when you want to play with two people, you can only create a new character or copy the first player character. The saves are on the console and you can play in the single player mode, but in the co-op game, the game does not see the other player's save locally.

We have the same issue - cannot join a second person in the local co-op game, regardless of which characters are being used (slightly different than MCD-4750's original issue where the co-op only used player 1's characters).
Originally played the game in local co-op mode. After playing for a few hours, saved and shut the console down for the night. The next day, started the game again, and Player 2 could not join the game.
Console reboots, controller log out and back in, and game restarts had no effect.

We are experiencing the same issue, now we can no longer play co-op with our own characters, only the characters from the player that loaded the game up.
Same issue here. when you want to play locally with different players this no longer allows you to use your characters, it shows the name of the 2nd player but only access to the 1st players characters.
Confirmed and the team is looking to resolve this. Thanks for the reports!
I'm glad we are not the only ones with this issue. I hope it get's resolved soon. Fingers crossed!
What I commented on a similar report:
We have the exact same issue! Me and my husband just updated and wanted to play coop and now we can both only access one of the character sets of each of our profiles. If he logs on he and I get his characters to choose from and can't access my own and vice versa. It's super frustrating since we played up to level 130 and were looking forward to the new levels. Please resolve this issue soon!
Please resolve this soon, my son was level 370 and my wife was level 320 (a LOT of investment) and all four of us play this game often.
Mojang should REVERT this patch update immediately because it's totally FUBAR.
Not only can I no longer play with my son on the same PS4 because we can no longer see each other's PS4 characters, but we can't even cross-play around it either.
Since Mojang never fixed the cross-platform age-restriction problem, my son's PS4 MCD can't start an online-game (to keep his character and items) due to "Privilege Error : Cannot play due to age restrictions". I've waded through 30+ webpages on PSN and XBox Profiles to turn off any age-restrictions, restarted MCD, and it's still blocking him.
So, can't co-op play on local machine without one player creating a character to scratch, and can't cross-play because age-restrictions. I've paid a lot of money for two different platform HERO versions and this kind of release-quality control does not reflect that expense.
Also, it's hilarious MCD can eat 49% of a Skylake CPU @ 3.3Ghz and 33% + 50% GPU (Intel + GTX1060) in only the Menu screen. Lots of heavy work in that Menu.
I'm having this same problem on the PS4, and it has completely derailed my ability to play at all since I exclusively play with my wife.
My brother and I are having the same issue. Disappointed and hope this resolves soon.
Same problem here. Playing offline, on PS4 Pro. Characters we've spent many hours developing can no longer play together.
On my original ticket which was a duplicate of this they are saying this should be fixed in December?? That is crazy. This should be fixed asap. We have holiday season coming up in another week. Kids/families will be wanting to play together. December is not acceptable.
Hi Mojang Support Team:
Please move this ticket to a higher priority level. Triage and put into the next sprint ASAP!
This affects users who play offline in single households on a single platform, example, my kids and i can no longer play together on a PS4 using our own individual profiles, so as of yesterday they've gone off and lost interest in the MC Dungeons product as we cannot play together. Kids attention span is very limited, so my kids have already moved onto plants vs zombies, world of warships etc. however i would prefer to play MC Dungeons, than WOW or PVZ, so as a dad please fix this so that i do not have to play those other games with my kids!
Yes I was pointed to this thread as we have the same issues. Whoever initiates game gets their skin only. Player 2 can’t see their character. But if they log in, the character is there. Yes we play 99% coop local play so waiting for this fix.
Same thing for me. Even tried to link/unlink both/one PSN to Microsoft accounts, nothing seemed to help.
Ok my kid just told me if he logs in his skin is there but when I log in I’m back at level1 and I don’t get the option of choosing his character. He hasn’t cloned himself so maybe that’s when I could choose his character?
So I’m not sure if this bug is slightly different but like I’ve said if I log in my skin is listed but then if he player 2, he’s back at level 1. But no access to my character
Please rush this fix. I can't play with my children. It's our de-stressor in these stressing times.
Please fix this issue so our family can play again!!! We can only play our own characters by ourselves and not with each other anymore when playing local multiplayer on PS4.
We also tried to update ps4 and game, and reinstalling the game.
This issue has stopped us for playing since the update, it's no fun playing all alone. Please do another update with a fix for this.
I am relieved that this behavior was not due to a spec change. I strongly hope that this bug will be resolved soon.
Yes, please i cannot play with muy kids either.
I've come across this issue when playing on the PS5.
I'll try going back to the PS4 and see if it the same
Yes we are having the same issue. This is a major issue as it's stopping us play with our family members locally.
For more info, it will only let the second player choose and play an account of the first player. If the first player has multiple accounts, then the second player can play one of the other accounts other than the account the first player is using. But if the first player only has one account, then the second player can't choose that one account, instead they have to either clone their account or create a new account under the first players account. Hope that makes sense.
It also makes player 2 use player 1 control settings. For example player one has changed their mallee attack button to L2, the player two has to use L2 instead of X.
BTW, this makes it really easy to duplicate items by giving them to your own account. So this bug really needs to be fixed quickly.
Same here. Local co-op is broken since last update. It was an issue starting with 1.08 on my PS4. My kids and me are very disappointed. Playing alone is ridiculous boring.
Another note on this issue, not only is player 1 a host, all subsequent players added in local co-op are listed as host as well.
A quick update for everyone. We have a fixed lined up for this and are aiming to have it out within the week. Thanks for hanging in there.
Thanks for the update. Not sure if the following will be helpful, but I suspect it could be errors saved in account data on the game servers. After backing up the MCD “profile and settings” and also the “charachter save” of all accounts on my console, I deleted all those account files yet the problem was still there. Also, tried deleting and reinstalling game, as well as logging in and playing on a separate console with no success.So in summary it does not seem anything can be done on the console side. One more thing, I also tried setting up a new account to play. When starting the game with the new account, none of the other accounts with the problem could join by holding the L3 button. Anyways, hope the update can come soon, good luck!
Noticed this today also. Just wanted to say useful to be able to find the bugs in this way thanks for updates look forward to it getting patched.
Have commented earlier here.... But just had to say that the same problem appeared when trying to play coop online.. not able to join. Only player 1 can play. Try to invite a second player from same ps4... but the message is that invitations can only be used by the person starting the game.. which make no sense at all.
Super Annoying. You would think this is a capability that always undergoes testing before release. My boy is furious. No co-op with dad... But i trust the Grimberg team to fix it to not occur again - ever.
Very excited to hear a fix is coming soon!
🙏🙏🙏 fingers crossed it works 🤞 🤞
IT IS WORKING FINALLY !!!
I have down the latest update. we still cannot play local co-op.
The option to press "L3" just does nothing
I have just tested the fix, but no change to the issues I raise under 4797. As per the comment above either L3 does absolutely nothing, on one account, or only clones of P1s players are available on another account. Version 1.09 did not fix the problem for me.
I've just updated to 1.09 and the issue is gone! Can play together with my son again! Thanks!
Just updated the game to 1.09 to see if it's fixed for me, and looks like it works, my son can select his character when joining my game. Maybe that's irrelevant but we both have our accounts connected to PSN and linked to Microsoft for cross-platform play, but only my account has PS+ active. Before the fix, we didn't try cloning or creating new characters, just waited for the fix.
I will try to update mine again now. fingers crossed.
Updated to 1.09 today and my sibling's hero is still gone. Only I can access it as player one.
Updated to 1.09 here too... Seemed to work...then we tried to he online coop...and got s seever-fail...and after that the normal coop didn't work either.
We restarted the ps4 after that to check if that would help.. It seems that we're alright.... But now I also have the character that my husband duplicated to play with me yesterday.
So the online-game is still a mess it seems??
I just updated and the issue seems to be resolved. Woot woot. Thanks for not neglecting local multiplayer!
This update does NOT fix the issue that pressing L3 CAN'T join the game! Now I can see many Sad Dads like me CAN'T play with kids this Thanksgiving week! Oh man...
I just updated with 1.09 today. Same with Jason H. I still cannot get local multiplayer to work. Pressing L3 on the other controllers does not allow that player to join the game. Is that a different bug or related to this one?
I'm about ready to get a refund for this game. My kids and I were enjoying it for weeks but we can't even play it together anymore.
It worked for us. Thank you for the the quick fix!
Already played a few coop rounds with my husband.
It works after installing PlayStation 4 system update 8.01.
This morning I installed the 1.09 fix and it did not fix the local multiplayer "Press L3 to join" bug.
But then I realized that there was a PS4 system update v8.01. So I installed that update and NOW the Press L3 to join bug is properly fixed on Minecraft Dungeons.
I still have the same issue.😔
Logged in tonight and both characters were there. 👍🏻🥳😀
I have suggestions for others cause I did a bunch of things in order to see my character. You need to get to the point that if you log in with your psn id and see your character and second player does the same and sees their character, then the 1.09 fix will work.
Before I had issues logging in and finding my character. So log in and look under character data. I found my character was there (can tell by level) so I backed up to USB to make sure I wouldn’t lose my skin.
Then I had primary ID ps plus logged in, their skin was there but mine wasn’t (before 1.09). So I uploaded my character. Still couldn’t find my character if ps plus acct logs in. As second player I couldn’t play MCD, so I had to activate my psn ID to the console. And make sure ps plus ID is activated to ps4. Then I could open MCD, and if logged in, my character was found. This was a victory for me cause I knew my character wasn’t lost. I think your character is there but google character save to USB. And make sure you log in as the person with the missing character.
Good luck!
Still press L3 can't join. We were able to play in local multiplayer even without logging into PSN for weeks and now.. Kids tried an hour today and even created PSN accounts to login but still can not get it to work. The update should have gone through backward compatible testing to make sure not losing major funtionality...
Before the update, ppl can play local multiplayers without having to log into PSN. Now we should be able to do the same...
I forgot to mention that the psn accounts need to be part of the family set up. Once that is done then second player can play MCD on their own. Now that is not how I am playing but as I said if you do this, then you can save player 2’s character to USB cause ps4 only saves ps plus character.
I’ve lost my character before and we had to play for a while to bring me back up to level. And this was my second time losing my character but I really did look into everything I could to solve this. And luckily I found my player was on the PS4 drive but somehow not accessible. So if you can play a second player coop offline play, I suggest doing this and rebuild. I wasn’t happy about it but I’m ok now. I have my binders gauntlet again. My armor isn’t quite the same but I will do back ups every so often to make sure my character is saved. It’s sucky that ps4 doesn’t save other characters except the psn plus accounts. And that is Not entirely a Mojang issue!
CAN MOJANG DESCRIBE CONDITIONS (Updated?) FOR LOCAL MULTI PLAYER?
My issues:
Questions for the development team and mojang:
Somehow you need to find the time to increase quality & reliability in existing software instead of releasing new DLC, because if it does not work now, it will not work then either. I will not accept to buy DLC to get bugs fixed - you know what I'm saying?
I've always held Mojang high, and I wish to continue so, or else I'll throw you in the EA bin.
Best Regards and Good Luck in fixing this
Zandergast
PS. Change status to "NOT FIXED" please. DS
Erik Engelbert: status is open and unresolved. It is just the duplicate cases added that is changed to fixed/resolved.
To Mojang developers:
A good idea must be to change back to the last update and get rid of this. So we can have fun with this game...and you can use whatever time needed to test the update enough before releasing it to everyone.
There is a small ambiguity: Title states [FIXED] but formal note is open.
I could have been more clear from my part. I thought Mojang changed the title.
//Z /EE
Still not fixed for me, was hoping it would be fine the next day
I can see the save data files on my account, and if I go onto hers, she has no save data. It's weird that I have the files now, and the game still won't let her choose her hero
This is now fixed for me with latest update yesterday. But now I can't play online multiplayer. I can't invite others to play as the option to invite doesn't come up at all even though it says they're online. And I can't see other players online session to join either even though they have one.
And note it was the person that created this ticket that added the "[Fixed]" to the subject line, not Mojang. Which should have been left for Mojang to update – the actual ticket status is still open, and in some reddit threads they have said they are still working on some issues around this, see this comment from Mojang: https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftDungeons/comments/jy1uvw/character_avail_are_only_from_who_launches_the/gdczo9s/
To @Violator @Marek Wendorf or @MattGartzke can you remove the fixed label from the ticket subject? It's confusing a lot of people as all the issues are not fixed, and Mojang is using this ticket to track more issues than just what was initially reported by that one person.
Update: It has fixed the local multiplayer issue for me but now the online multiplayer isn’t working. I can’t see anyone else’s online game session, nor does it come up with ability to invite someone to my session.
The only way to do it is through seeing who is playing online in a community, and even then it doesn’t work straight away, at first saying this session has 1/0 players and the session is full. If you wait a bit, it eventually changes to say 1/4 players and then can finally join someone.
Not sure if we should be creating a new bug report for this or keep it under this same bug. It’s different, but I presume it’s because of the changes they made to multiplayer.
Further update: I’ve been able to play online multiplayer with people not on the PlayStation network, but on cross-play ok.
It seems that the game was updated but for us the issue was not resolved. Still can't play co-op locally.
Updated to Dungeons 1.09 and installed the latest PS4 update. However, L3 still does not allow additional players to join a local co-op game.
Same on my PS4. Have updated the patch but still can't play with the kids any more on the same local game. It says push L3 to join but nothing happens when you push it. Was great family bonding time until the recent patches...
To users reporting issues with the L3 button being unresponsive: can you please provide details on the circumstances in which the issue occurs? Are you trying to do this while in the main menu, in the game proper, or somewhere else? Is there anything specific/unusual that you do prior to attempting this?

Same on my PS4. Latest update applied. When inside the game at base camp screen. Try to open the join local multiplayer dialog and it says push L3 to join but nothing happen when I push it. Tried with multiple controllers. All my other 3 controllers cannot join.
My son has created 3 characters in the past week under his account but somehow he keeps losing them and they end up on my older sons account under his saves. They share a ps4 but have different accounts and I cant understand how character saves are able to migrate to a different account. Its really discouraging and annoying to keep creating characters just to lose them.
L3 button is unresponsive while trying to join when beeing in camp, for a offline game.
We always as re logged in to our PSN account.
From having similar issues before this update – in the past PS4 offline coop worked differently if all, some, or none of the profiles were logged into PSN. (In my experience, if none were logged in, it loaded all character saves from P1's profile, and if at least one player was logged into PSN then it loaded from each player's profile.)
For those with "L3 button is unresponsive" issues, it might be helpful to include in your comments if any players, some, or all are logged into PSN or not. (Not just if they have accounts.)
And in the meantime, if none are logged in, try logging in just P1 or both P1 + P2 into their own PSN accounts and see if that helps the issue.
We have purchased the game two weeks ago. We have two profiles on the PS4, main one which is used to log into the PSN an another one for the kids with no PSN connection. My kids created two characters and palyed for a day. At the end of the day, once they tried to log in and play again, the L3 was not working. Tried both in the main charecters screen and from within the game. Nothing seems to be working. We first log in with the main user with the PSN then we add the second one. When I try to first log in to to the kids user without PSN we get a completely new game without the saced characters.
This is super frustrating and must be resolved.
UPDATE:
Tried to log in with the other user as well (kids) and it still won't let me play co-op locally.
we didn't log into PSN and was OK to play locally (me and two kids). Now we can't play.
See
MCD-4810for more information.MCD-4750may be related to the L3 issue. If so, the L3 issue still persists and isn’t fixed yet.I have the same issue, can't get local multiplayer. We've always used my sons account as P1, no PSN login, and it now does not let anyone else join in.
If I log in as P1 I see my saved character, but cannot see previous saves for other players.
Please help, I have 2 upset sons
It seems that the L3-button is working again.
This is still happening. My son and I were playing fine yesterday. We went in today and we cannot get a second player to join. We thought it may be the controller, but we restarted and switched the main controller. Same issue. L3 will not let you add a second player.
I am having same issue and while pressing L3 I found no response and my kids are so frustrated
Having had no joy with the 1.09 update and updating to PS4 8.01, I persisted for a few days waiting for an update but to no result.
My girlfriend and I were working around the problem by using my PS4 account to play local multi-player. She cloned my character because her character was not available on my account (on the same local machine) and L3 would not work for me on her account. She had not registered with PSN and so was not logged into a PSN account whereas I have had a PSN account for a long time and so I was logged into that by default. Today I created her a OSN account via my PC and then she logged into it on the PS4 and set up her PSN settings. I also added her to my PSN family account.
We shut down and re-started the PS4 and then checked out Minecraft Dungeons. Her character is now available on my account in local mulltiplayer and mine is when she runs Mincraft Dungeons from her account locally. The L3 button now works properly for both of us.
If you are having problems it may be worth creating PSN logons for each player that want to play local mulitplayer and see if it works for you.
Best of luck!
Rollback please! You f-cked this one up.
Rollback...
Rollback!! Rollback! Rollback!! (And please test this feature before a future update)
When will this be fixed? My kids want to play together and haven’t been able to since the update. PS4 and game are up to date, and I don’t want to create a separate psn account for each child, including their friends when they come over to play. Even when 2nd player is logged in as guest the L3 still doesn’t work. We were playing for weeks without this problem. As a game developer myself, I’m actually quite appalled Mojang! This has been an issue for weeks and has gone unfixed for too long. If you don’t plan on fixing it, can you tell everyone so we can have our money back?
I've seen no change in this issue since mid-November - it is stopping me and my family from playing MCD entirely, as we exclusively play in local co-op. All the details I can think of:
MCD version 1.09
PS4 version 8.01
No pending updates found.
Will, with reference to my report above, the workaround seems to be that Minecraft Dungeons needs to be started by a player with a PSN account and the joining player needs to have a PSN account. I don't know why this seems to be needed for local coop play but that is what seems to have happened. You did not cover this option in your description explicitly so I just thought I would mention it.
Is this a Mojang Develper problem, or Microsoft Developer problem?
Andy- please clarify... by PSN account, do you mean a PSplus account, or just any normal PSN log in?
Adam, I was just talking about making sure each player has a normal PSN login. That means that the PS4 can login to the playstation network for that user in addition to their local login. I do have a PSPlus account myself in addition to my PSN Account but that was not what I was talking about,
Andy: thanks for the heads-up! I retried today and can confirm that:
- With the PSN account holder as Player 1, Player 2 (without a PSN account) sees character selection when pressing L3, but sees only an option to clone P1's character.
- With the non-PSN account holder as Player 1, Player 2 (with a PSN account) get no response on pressing L3.
So this is consistent with what you reported above. I will look at creating PSN accounts for the kids...
I picked up this game today to play locally with my two children. I have setup 3 psn accounts and have all of them added as friends.
Attempting to play locally, we were very disappointed no one could join the game. It says 1-4, but local seems to be 1 player only. I was hoping we could get some time playing during Christmas vacation.
@shane n thats odd. Can confirm the workaround worked for me. We typically play on my account which was the only one with a proper psn account behind it. But logged in as my sons local profile I couldn't join. Created him a psn account yesterday and now I can join with my character again.
Why has the issue still not been resolved? There are numerous other duplicate issues that have been raised over the Christmas period, all saying the same, we all have very disappointed children, who wanted this for Christmas to play together and now cannot. First time we played the game it allowed us to all join and have our own characters. After that, unable to join any new players as pressing L3 does nothing.
I am very dissatisfied with the lack of response from Mojang. Is this really how you treat your customers? You are selling a game that does not do what is advertised!
My sons as well got the game and cannot play local co-op player at this time as well as seems to be a very big bug going on with the system the kids should not have to have a PSN account to play if they are because their minors as well this time please I hope they can resolve this issue.
Please prioritize this bug - we are very disappointed as we bought this to play as a family game and local co-op is not working.
I am not sure if anyone discovered this, but I have a workaround that works for me. When I am at the character selection, before I enter the game, I go into settings, select game, and select the cross-platform action. Then I back out to the character selection and now I can hit L3 and the second player is added. It is late and I am tired, so maybe I actually went one more step on the cross-platform thing. I tested this five times and in each time I was successful.
If no one can follow these steps on the PS4, I can check in the morning when I can go step-by-step on the workaround.
Uh, what Erik said ^ but a little less aggressive (and without the random tracker theory >.>) . There's been literally no comment or any update from Mojang on the status of the ticket. Only reason I got this game was to spend time with siblings while in lockdown, but we can't even do that. Can we PLEASE get some sort of update/comment from someone at Mojang on whether this will be fixed anytime soon, or fixed at all? Seems weird that a platform is being neglected and half the people on it can't play co-op. Even if the team is working on a fix, just tell us! So we know we aren't being ignored. And yes I tried the fixes listed in here, none worked. Half the time, my sibling can join but only my character is available and they can only make a new one, or the other half, they can't even join at all. Please Mojang!
My game hasent when working right. One of the market place games has been gliching!
This bug has prevented us from playing as a family since the first day we opened the game in December 2020. It is a paperweight at this point. This needs to be raised in priority as the game is useless to us without local co-op.
Local multiplayer on the PS4 has been broken since around December 2020. Every time there is a new update we briefly get L3 working to seemingly join another player, but it is only with P1's saved characters or mirrors. Then the next time the game is loaded L3 isn't recognised and nothing happens. If you use the work around mentioned ("When I am at the character selection, before I enter the game, I go into settings, select game, and select the cross-platform action. Then I back out to the character selection and now I can hit L3 and the second player is added.") then you can again get it accessing P1's saves, but local multiplayer using more than one local profile never works. So our kids and adults can't use their characters to play together. I bought this game for safe multiplayer fun between young kids and parents. I don't want to sign them up for online gaming yet.
If the Mojang team don't see where the problem is then they need to try it on a PS4 using log-ins without microscoft accounts or online access (only one of ours has this). The problem occurs after the game is then updated.
It's been 4 months with little or no comment from Mojang since December. Is there anyone out there???
1.8.6.0.
This issue should be fixed as of version 1.9.1.0. Please let us know if this is indeed the case.
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
Currently on 1.17 (1.9.1.0_774) for MCD on PS4 and this issue is still present as of testing this morning:
OFFLINE GAME
When starting game as P2, P2 can select P2 characters and P1 can join using P1 characters (this is the expected behavior, unless P1 should also be able to select P2 characters at this time)
When starting game as P1, P2 can only choose from P1's characters, P2 characters are not available (this is unexpected, P2 should be able to choose P2 characters when joining P1's game)
August 2021. I last played with my son and daughter on the PS4 in late 2020.
We used my main profile which has our three characters. They would each log into my secondary PSN accounts and each would use their character.
Now, in the summer of 2021, my son and I sign in on my PS5 with the same save games carried over. Starting an offline game, Player 1 has all three characters. Player 2 can only select from a new character and cannot access player 1's characters as we used to. I don't know what has changed, but without access to our high-level characters, co-op is just rendered worthless. Has anything been altered? Can we go back to the way things were?
Hi Mojang,
Firstly, I'll say we are in love with Minecraft Dungeons or, rather, I should say we were in love with it. Ever since the aforementioned updates, we have not been able to play offline co-op together with our characters. Only player 1 seems to be able to use the characters we have in progress. Player 2 has no other option than to create a new one. We are playing on a PS4.
As you can see from the numerous comments above, this is a long-standing issue that has not been fixed as of the newest update. This makes enjoying your fantastic game especially difficult. Please fix this already so we can go back to enjoying Minecraft Dungeons. Also, it would be helpful if you had a support line to coordinate some of these support issues.
