Epic Games is actually adding split-screen functionality to its LEGO Fortnite mode. Pitched as Fortnite for younger children, the cutesy plastic multiplayer game can now be played with two players on the same console.
LEGO Fortnite split-screen confirmed
Revealed alongside new Astro Bot DLC and Palworld PS5 at the most recent PlayStation State of Play, LEGO Fortnite split-screen is coming to both Xbox and PlayStation consoles later this year.
In a follow-up tweet, the official LEGO Fortnite Twtiter account explained that the new multiplayer option will release this October. However, it doesn’t seem like the mode will be coming to PC or Nintendo Switch. While the latter is likely down to performance options, the lack of split-screen on PC is a shame.
“Get your controllers charged and snacks ready! Split-screen mode is coming to LEGO Fortnite on PlayStation and Xbox this October,” the account said.
More split-screen is a good thing
While split-screen multiplayer has largely been left absent from new game releases, the addition of the mode in the Fortnite spin-off proves that there’s still a demand. Fans of the game who play with siblings or even their children have been searching for the mode’s release date since its launch.
While games like Halo are known for their amazing split-screen multiplayer, modern titles often leave it absent. Even Halo Infinite failed to include split-screen campaign play despite supporting the feature in multiplayer.
