Splitscreen Mode Is Coming Soon to Lego Fortnite

Lego Fortnite is gaining a massive new feature for fans of local multiplayer, as official splitscreen support is coming soon. The new splitscreen mode option was announced during the PlayStation State of Play event on September 24, 2024.

For now, we know splitscreen support will be available for both PS4 and PS5 in the near future. No exact release date has been announced at this time. The feature will allow two players to play on the same console and TV screen in the same world simultaneously. The feature has an intriguing split perspective where it shows each player’s avatar next to their horizontally-centric screen.

Some details are still unknown about the Lego Fortnite splitscreen mode, such as whether or not the second player will be able to use their existing Epic Games account. This would allow them to play on the same console as friends or family and still earn levels towards the Battle Pass. Furthermore, it is uncertain if this splitscreen feature will be available for other consoles like Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

In addition to the splitscreen option, there is also a new limited-time Fortnite-themed DualSense controller. It has a light baby blue color scheme with various graffiti-like stickers of various Fortnite characters like Fishstick all over it. It will arrive later this year in 2024. Pre-orders will begin for the new PS5 Fortnite DualSense controller on October 3, 2024 at various retailers.

Lego Fortnite is available for free for Android, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Splitscreen will arrive for PS4 and PS5 in the near future.
