Does Fortnite have split-screen? Absolutely. Fortnite may have a reputation as an online multiplayer video game played by solo gamers on a single device, but the title actually supports a hidden split-screen mode that allows two separate players to play together online, on the same screen, at the same time.

It’s completely understandable that you might be wondering whether split-screen still exists in Fortnite, as the option doesn’t appear in any menus and is automatically enabled when a second player is detected.

Here's everything you need to know about how to get split-screen in Fortnite on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, or PS5 consoles.

Unlike most local multiplayer games, there’s a little bit of setup required before you can play a split-screen Fortnite game on one console. The good news is that if the two people playing have already set up their own Epic Games accounts, you don’t have to do much.
