Can Fortnite be played on split-screen?

Sometimes only one console is available for players. With most games, this still means multiple people can participate through split-screen, but is this the same with Fortnite?

Does Fortnite allow players to play together on split-screen? The answer is a bit complex.

Fortnite and split-screen… but there is a catch

For those wondering if Fortnite can be played on split-screen, you should be happy to know it can. There are a few requirements though.

First, only console players can play split screen. Xbox, Playstation, and Switch users should be excited to know that it works on their consoles. If you are playing on PC, then unfortunately split-screen does not work.

Second, it only works for two players. That means you must have at least two consoles if you have more than two people. You can play more than just duos though with two people. Have fun taking on the challenge of squads with your teammate.

How to play on split-screen in Fortnite

Playing on split-screen in Fortnite is quite simple, and works the same for all consoles. Once in the Fortnite lobby, have your teammate connect the second controller. Once connected, they will be prompted to sign in to their account.

After signing in, a notification on the bottom of your screen will pop up saying “P2 Log In”. It then tells you which button to press.

Once you have completed these steps, both players should be joined together in the lobby.

The future of Fortnite’s split-screen mode

As of now, Fortnite has not added any new features to its split-screen mode. Whether or not they will experiment more with it in the future is unknown, but more-than-likely.

As the game constantly updates, and with Chapter 4 less than a week away, players can expect more updates to features such as split-screen in the near future.
