How to Play Fortnite in Split-Screen on PlayStation Consoles

Here’s how you can ready up Fortnite in split-screen on the PlayStation console:

1. Launch the game mode that is available in split-screen
2. Turn on your second PS controller
3. Add and connect with a second Fortnite account when asked to
4. In the main menu on the bottom right corner, press and hold the “Log in (Hold)” button (either X or Triangle)
5. Log in with the secondary account if prompted

This should add the secondary account in your lobby, where you can start playing in split-screen mode. The hardest part in initiating split-screen play is adding the account, but once it’s done, make sure the second controller doesn’t disconnect, or you don’t lose Internet!

What Game Modes Are Supported for Fortnite Split-Screen?

To keep the competitive integrity and the meaning behind some game modes, Epic Games has limited what modes you can play with the split-screen feature. Only the Squads, Duos, or Trios game modes are available for you to enjoy with your friend!

You won’t be able to play Fortnite in split-screen mode for the other game modes, though. Not only does this apply to Creative, but you can’t play limited-time events as well.
