how to split screen fortnite xbox

To split screen Fortnite on Xbox, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have two Xbox controllers connected to the console.
2. Both players must have their own Xbox accounts, each linked to an Epic Games account. Guest or quick play accounts are not supported.
3. Start Fortnite on the Xbox with the first controller logged into the main account.
4. At the main menu or pregame lobby, turn on the second controller.
5. Press and hold the Xbox button on the second controller to sign in with the second Xbox account.
6. In Fortnite, a prompt should appear for player 2 to press and hold the "A" button to join.
7. Once player 2 joins, you will see both characters in the Fortnite lobby, ready to play split screen.
8. Choose a game mode that supports split screen, such as Duos or Squads (solo or other limited-time modes do not support split screen).
9. Both players select "Ready" and start the game split screen on the same Xbox.

Note: If the second account has never played Fortnite before, it may be necessary to play a solo game once on that account before split screen works. This process works for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S consoles.
