You need hardware and a special cable to connect the two.

If you have ps4, xBox, or Nintendo switch controllers just pair them via bluetooth. You need one per player!

Careful, hardware multiplayer via cable appears to be in a bad state for new projects at this time, see [Hardware Multiplayer (game) - #39 by jwunderl](https://forum.makecode.com/t/hardware-multiplayer-game/132/39)
