How to play split screen on Fortnite

Playing Fortnite together with your friends on just one console has never been easier. Here is a guide on how to play split screen on Fortnite.

First, start by having your friend log in on a second controller. Make sure the controller is connected to your system.

It is as simple as it sounds; load up into Fortnite.

Press the [P2} Log In button (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on XBOX).

This is the final step. Once you are both readied up, you will be good to go.
