How to Play Split Screen Fortnite on the Switch

Ever wondered if you can play Fortnite on your Switch with a buddy, side by side, on the same screen? Well, you’re in the right spot to find out!

Let’s dive into understanding how to get your Fortnite split screen mode rolling on the Nintendo Switch.

Yes, You Can Play Split Screen!

Fortnite does allow you to enjoy its thrilling Battle Royale and Creative modes in split screen on the Nintendo Switch. It means double the fun with a friend right by your side.

To start, you’ll both need a controller and ensure your Switch is docked. Fortnite doesn’t support split screen in handheld mode due to screen size and resolution limitations. So, make sure your Switch is connected to a bigger screen.

Setting Up Split Screen on the Switch

First things first, both players must have a Nintendo account and be friends on their Switches. If you’ve got that sorted, boot up Fortnite. Player one will log in first, then the second player needs to press the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ on their controller to join the game. Voila! You’re now ready to drop into the action together.

Remember, split screen mode automatically disables some features for performance reasons, like the ability to play in certain modes or use the in-game chat. But don’t worry, the main attractions, Battle Royale and Creative, fully support split screen.
