How to Play Fortnite in Split-Screen Mode

One of the best additions to Fortnite in the last few years has been the ability to play the game in split-screen mode. This handy feature lets two players enjoy the battle royale on the same screen without needing a second console. There are a few limitations to using it, but it's a great way to let your friends and family experience one of the most popular free games on the market. Here's how to play Fortnite in split-screen mode.

Which Systems Support Fortnite Split-Screen?

While Fortnite is available on almost every system, split-screen mode is limited to Xbox and PlayStation consoles. If you're running it on Series X, Series S or PS5, you'll benefit from frame rates of up to 60 frames per second.

Despite plenty of rumors since the feature first launched in 2019, Epic Games has not indicated that split-screen play is coming to PC or Nintendo Switch.

How Do You Play Fortnite in Split-Screen Mode?

Getting a friend to join the fun is an easy process, and it follows the same steps for all compatible consoles. Before you start, though, make sure you have a second account and a second controller ready for your friend to use. Then follow these easy steps to get split-screen mode running:

• Go to the Main Menu.
• Make sure the second controller is connected to your console and turned on.
• Once connected, the second player should be prompted to select an account.
• After signing in, the second player will now appear in the Fortnite lobby.
• That's it! You can now jump into matches together and fight for a Victory Royale.
