You and Your Buddy About to Drop into Dusty Divas... Together? A Guide to Fortnite PS4 Split-Screen
Ah, Fortnite. The game that's eaten more hours than a particularly peckish pigeon at a french fry convention. But what if those hours could be doubled? What if you could share the joy (and rage) with a friend, all on the glorious screen of your PS4? Fear not, fellow warrior, for split-screen is your key to couch co-op glory!
But First, a Word From Our Lawyers (Kind Of)
Before we delve into the nitty-gritty, there's a small caveat. Split-screen on Fortnite PS4 isn't exactly like flipping a light switch. It's more like... untangling a Christmas tree after a particularly overzealous cat has gotten involved. But fear not, we'll guide you through the festive mess.
Grab Your Spare Controller, It's Showtime!
1. The Great Controller Awakening: The first step is, believe it or not, acquiring a second controller. Unless you plan on playing with your toes (which, hey, no judgment) a second controller is vital for your partner in crime.
2. Summoning the Second Player: With your trusty controller in hand, have your friend turn it on and log in to their glorious PlayStation account. You'll see a prompt on the screen – make them press the X button (the one with the funky square in the middle) like they're about to unleash a world-ending super move (because, let's be honest, that's basically what winning a Fortnite match feels like).
Welcome to the Lobby, It's Time to Party (Almost)
Now you're in the Fortnite lobby, two titans ready to conquer the island. But hold on to your harvesting tool, we're not quite there yet.
3. The All-Important Match Selection: Here's the key detail – split-screen only works in Duos or Squads matches. So, if you're feeling a bit Rambo-esque and want to go solo, you'll be flying solo on the screen as well.
4. Let the Games Begin! Once you've chosen your fate (Duos or Squads), you're ready to rock! The screen will automatically split in two, creating a battlefield for you and your partner to dominate.
Pro Tip: You might want to adjust some settings in-game to optimize the split-screen experience. Consider tweaking things like the size and position of the mini-map to ensure you both have a clear view of the action.
You Did It! Now Get Out There and Win!
There you have it, folks! With a little wrangling and the right amount of controller juggling, you've unlocked the split-screen secrets of Fortnite PS4. Now go forth, conquer those noobs, and don't forget to share those sweet Victory Royales (and inevitable rage quits) with your teammate. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work, especially when that dream involves raining down rockets from above.
