Fortnite is a great game to play with friends, given that it’s free-to-play, and fairly easy to learn. Whether you want to build, or just play a battle royale shooter, there are many modes to choose from. You can even play split-screen, with two players able to jump into certain modes while sharing the same screen.
Setting up split-screen in Fortnite is really simple, you just need to be playing on Xbox or PlayStation, and have two controllers handy. Unfortunately split-screen is not currently available on PC, Nintendo Switch or mobile devices.
Here’s how to play split-screen in Fortnite, as well as some info on which modes you’ll be able to play.
How to play split-screen in Fortnite

You can use the split-screen mode to play Fortnite Battle Royale Duos and Squads on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Here is how to start a split-screen session (as per the Epic support page for the game):
- Start Fortnite and go to the Main Menu.
- Make sure that both controllers are connected to the console and turned on.
- Once both controllers are connected, the first player needs to invite the second player to select their account.
