Playing split screen on Fortnite with your Nintendo Switch isn’t just possible; it’s a ton of fun. This guide will show you how to set it up.

The Quick Answer to Play Split Screen on Fortnite

To play split screen on Fortnite using your Nintendo Switch, you need two things: a second set of controllers and a buddy to share the adventure with. Remember, both players need to have a Nintendo Account linked to their Epic Games account.

First, make sure your Nintendo Switch is docked and connected to your TV. Then, start Fortnite and navigate to the main menu. From there, your buddy can turn on the second controller and log in. You’ll see a prompt on the screen to join the game. And just like that, you’re ready to play Fortnite in split screen!
