Fortnite split screen: How to play the game in split screen?

Players looking to play Fortnite on split screen, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we have shared all the information players need on how to play the game on the same system and screen.

Fortnite’s Chapter 2 revamp added split screen for the first time and it’s probably one of the biggest changes to the way the Battle Royale can be played. With the help of split screen, players can drop into the game’s map at the same time, as both players’ POV appear on one half of the screen. Here’s how to get started with this feature.

Can you play split screen on Fortnite?

Yes, you can play split screen in Fortnite. Following the v19.01 update in Chapter 3 Season 1, the ability to play in split-screen mode has now been re-enabled by Epic Games, meaning you can hop into the Battle Bus once more to play some rounds with friends at home.

Split screen on Fortnite

Here’s how to enable the feature within the game:

• Players need to go to the game’s main lobby using their main account.
• Now, they need to turn on the second controller, and log into the second player’s account.
• Players will see the option to press their console’s corresponding button to log in Player Two to the game.
• Once done, both players will start appearing within the lobby area of the game.

Players should note that the game session will end if one player gets disconnected, even if the other player remains connected. Players’ inventories will also remain separate – which means players still have to collect their own items to craft and upgrade items.

Split screen for Switch and PC

Currently, players can enjoy the split screen mode only on the PlayStation and Xbox consoles. PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices are yet to support this functionality, and Epic hasn’t hinted on enabling it for those platforms anytime soon.

Modes that support split screen

As of now, players can enjoy split screen only for Duos and Squads modes within the game, when two players are playing on the same console. It’s the same for Creative, Limited Time Modes (LTMs), and Save the World.
