How to play split screen in Fortnite Chapter 2, limitations, what is shared, what you cannot do ...
To play split screen in Fortnite chapter 2 we must enter with our initial account and run the game in Battle Royale mode since it does not work in Save the world. Once inside, when we are in the main menu, we can plug in a second remote control that is the one that our friend or family member will use, and turn it on.
Note that in our console we must have registered accounts, ours, and also that of our friend, partner, family member ... And obviously that person / user account must also have a Fortnite account.
As soon as we have the two active controls on the console and the two accounts registered in the system, we will only have to log in from the second control that is done from the main Fortnite menu. We must observe that we have a new shortcut at the bottom of the interface. Well, with the second controller we must press X on PlayStation 4 or the A button on Xbox One so that the second account is added to the menu and the lobby.
In that case, you will be asked to select the account of the second player that you have registered on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
Moving through the menus
Player 1 will still have access to absolutely everything as if they were playing alone. The second player practically the same, but will appear on a large pop-up screen and will also have access to all their inventory, change their clothes if they consider it appropriate, and even buy in the store that would obviously be done through their associated account.
The only thing is that it cannot be done at the same time, with what is one player or the other moving through the interface, but not both at the same time.
In a game
When starting a game, it is somewhat limited since you will see that the two screens appear horizontally (it cannot be vertical) with a certain black space on each side that seems to be little used.
The good thing is that if you use headphones, they will be totally independent sounds when they are connected to different controls.
The difficulty when two people play at the same time under the same screen, is that the visibility is reduced a lot, which would be very difficult to be able to hit enemies that are at a great distance. That is why it is advisable that if you use the split screen functionality, you do it on televisions that are large.
If one of the two players dies, the one who is still alive will take center stage on both screens.
Limitations
- Only valid for the Battle Royale mode in duos and squads
- Only one menu can be moved at a time
- The other user must have their account profile registered in our console
- The other user must obviously have a Fortnite account registered in their account profile
- It consumes twice the Internet connection so you must be low fiber.
- It does not work on Nintendo Switch or mobile.
- The FPS are between 30 and 40 when there are two players.
- Image quality drops a lot
As you can see, there are quite a few limitations and things to improve in the Fortnite split screen, but it is a great leap to play two people on the same console. So you already know how to play split screen in Fortnite chapter 2 to enjoy with your friends or family.
