Last updated
Ever wondered how to play Fortnite with a pal sitting right next to you? The game has a cool feature called “split screen” where two players can team up and play together on the same console. Let’s dive into how you can make your Fortnite adventures even more fun with a friend!
So, you’re eager to know how to get split screen going in Fortnite, right? Well, you’re in the right place because we’re about to break it down for you, step by easy step.
Quick Steps to Split Screen in Fortnite
Getting split screen to work in Fortnite is easier than you might think. First things first, you need two controllers. Connect both to your console, whether you’re team PlayStation or Xbox. Remember, split screen only works on consoles like PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Now, follow these simple steps: start Fortnite and reach the main lobby. The second player should then press a button (usually the X or A button, depending on your console) to join in. Voila! Your screen will split, and both of you can jump into the game together. Keep in mind, both players need to have an Epic Games account. Also, some modes like Solo don’t support the split screen, but you can dive into Duos and Squads together.
