How to Play Fortnite Split Screen on Xbox
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can share your Fortnite battle royale adventures with a friend on the same Xbox console? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can team up in Fortnite by playing split screen on your Xbox.
We’re talking about Fortnite’s cool feature that lets you and a buddy join forces or compete head-to-head right from your couch. So, how exactly do you set it up? Let’s get to the bottom of this.
Setting Up Fortnite Split Screen on Xbox
First things first, you’ll need two controllers and a buddy who’s as excited as you are to jump into the action. Make sure both controllers are connected to your Xbox console.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
- Launch Fortnite on your Xbox.
- Log in to your Epic Games account (or create one if you haven’t already).
- Once you’re in the main lobby, turn on the second controller and sign in with another Xbox account or guest account.
- Press the ‘A’ button on the second controller. This will prompt a split-screen session to start, and a second player will appear in the lobby.
- Choose your game mode, and you’re ready to go! Now you can enjoy Fortnite battles with a friend right beside you.
Remember, split screen mode is currently available in Duos and Squads. This means you can’t play Solo matches in split screen, but teaming up with a friend adds a whole new layer of fun!
