P1 stands for Player 1, a gaming slang abbreviation.

The first player or controller in a local multiplayer game, often the one who controls menus and starts the game. "P2" means the second player.

Example: I'm P1, so I pick the level and you deal with it.

Usage notes

Arcade cabinets and home consoles assigned players numbers by controller port, which gave P1 a sense of seniority among siblings and friends. "Player 2 has entered the game" is a widely used meme for a new arrival.
