Offline Multiplayer 4 Players

Hello guys,
I wanted to play the offline multiplayer with 3 friends.
All 4 controllers were connected successfully with the Xbox One and 3 of them were logged in as guests.
Now the problem: The game noticed, that 4 controllers were connected and in the player session it said “Press ‘A’ to join” for all controllers but only one guest could join. When the other two pressed ‘A’ nothing happened.
We restarted the Xbox, tried different options and different sequences to connect and log in the controllers. But that didn’t solve our problem.
So we played always 1v1 and this was working fine.

We had no connection to the internet, but that shouldn’t have been the problem, right? That’s why it is called offline multiplayer.

I couldn’t find anything similar in the web regarding this issue. I hope you can help me.

I’m having the same issue. Bought the game because it said local 4 player offline and it doesn’t work and can’t find anything on how to do it.
