How to Spectate on Fortnite: A Fun Guide

Last updated
Ever wondered how you can watch your friends battle it out in Fortnite without jumping into the fray yourself? Let’s dive into how you can get in on the action from the sidelines!
So, you’re asking, “How do I spectate on Fortnite?” You’ve come to the right place for answers!
Getting Into Spectator Mode
To start spectating, you’ll need to join a game where your friend is playing. Unfortunately, Fortnite doesn’t have a direct ‘spectate’ button in the main menu. You’ve got to be a bit sneaky.
First, join your friend’s lobby before they start a match. You can’t join a game that’s already in progress, so timing is key here. Once in the lobby, wait for them to start the match, and you’ll automatically enter spectator mode. Remember, you can only spectate games that friends are playing.
