How to Split Screen Fortnite on Switch

Last updated
Ever wondered how you can share your Fortnite adventures directly on your Nintendo Switch with a buddy, side by side? Well, you’re about to find out exactly how to dive into the Fortnite world with a friend, using the split screen feature on the Nintendo Switch.
So, how do you exactly enjoy Fortnite’s thrilling battles with a pal on the same Switch? Let’s break it down step by step.
Quick Guide to Split Screen on Fortnite
First off, both of you need to have your controllers synced to the Switch. Then, fire up Fortnite from your game library. Once you’re at the main screen, your friend should press a button on their controller to log in. Voilà! You should now see two characters on the screen. This means you’re set to explore Fortnite’s world together, on one screen.
But remember, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Both players need to be on the same console, and this cool feature only works in Duos and Squads mode. That means no solo adventures or Creative mode while you’re teamed up on the same screen. Also, the second player needs to have an Epic Games account and be logged in to join the fun.
