You and Your Buddy vs The Storm: A Hilarious Guide to Fortnite Split-Screen on PS4
Feeling a little rusty on your Fortnite skills? Maybe your building is more like a sad pile of sticks than the Eiffel Tower? Fear not, fellow loopers! With the magic of split-screen, you can grab a friend (or a particularly courageous small sibling) and take on the island together. Just imagine the glorious chaos – you sniping fools from afar while your teammate builds a monstrosity of a fort that would make Bob the Builder weep.
Here's how to get your split-screen party started:

| How To Do Split Screen For Fortnite On Ps4 |
Step 1: Assembling the Squad (Of Two)
- Dust off Controller Two: This isn't hand-to-hand combat, you'll need a second controller for your partner in crime. Unless you're planning some epic synchronized dance moves (which would be incredible, by the way), two controllers are a must.
- Sign in Soldier Two: Have your friend log in to their glorious Epic Games account. Patience is key here. We've all been there – forgotten passwords, endless loading screens. Be prepared to entertain yourself with interpretive dance or existential Fortnite musings while they log in.
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
Step 2: The Lobby Awaits
- Welcome to the Party: You should now see both beautiful faces (or gamertags) gracing the Fortnite lobby. High fives all around (virtually, of course, unless you're feeling particularly celebratory).
Step 3: Let's Get This Party Started
- Duos or Squads Only: Here's the not-so-secret secret – split-screen only works for Duos or Squads mode. So, no solo domination for your newbie teammate (unless they convince you otherwise with their puppy dog eyes).
- Hit the Road: Pick your game mode, choose your landing spot (remember, sharing is caring, so don't be a loot hog!), and BOOM – you're thrust into the glorious battleground.
Bonus Tip: Don't Blame the Lag (Unless You Totally Should)
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
- Split-Screen Shenanigans: Be warned, split-screen can sometimes lead to a bit of lag or a framerate drop. This isn't a bug, it's just the game working double-time to render two screens. So, if your building looks more like a slideshow, don't blame your internet (although, it could always be your internet).
Embrace the hilarity! There will be accidental friendly fire, questionable building choices from your teammate, and moments of pure, unadulterated joy. Who cares if you don't win every game? You're there to laugh, loot, and build questionable structures together.
