How to Do Split Screen on Xbox Fortnite
Last updated
Wondering how to share your Fortnite adventures on Xbox with a friend right next to you? You’re in luck! This article is all about splitting your screen in two so you can both jump into the action together.
So, how do you actually play Fortnite in split screen mode on your Xbox? Let’s dive right in and find out!
The Quick Answer to Split Screen Goodness
First up, you need two controllers. Then, make sure both players are logged into their Xbox Live accounts. From there, fire up Fortnite and head to the main lobby. Here’s where the split screen magic happens: simply turn on the second controller and press the ‘A’ button. A prompt will appear asking the second player to join. Voilà! You’re set to conquer Fortnite together on one screen.
To keep the fun going smoothly, remember that both players need to stay close to each other in the game world. If one player wanders off too far or gets eliminated, the split screen will pause until everyone’s back together or respawned.
