So, you’re asking, “How do I do split screen in Fortnite?” Let’s split this question in two and conquer!
Quick Steps to Activate Split Screen in Fortnite
First things first: you need two controllers. Once you have that setup, follow these steps:
- Start Fortnite and log into your account on your console (PlayStation or Xbox).
- Connect the second controller and log in as another user or a guest.
- Once the second player is logged in, you’ll see a prompt at the bottom of the screen to hold down a button to join. Do it!
- Voilà! You’re now ready to embark on your split-screen Fortnite adventure.
Remember that both players need to stay within the same game mode and cannot wander off into separate matches or modes.
