2 player on fortnite on the same console on the same account ?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

You can use the split-screen mode to play Fortnite: Battle Royale Duos and Squads on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Here is how to start a split-screen session:

1. Start Fortnite and go to the Main Menu.

2. Make sure that both controllers are connected to the console and turned on.

3. Once both controllers are connected, the first player needs to invite the second player to select their account.

4. Once signed into their account, the second player will appear in the lobby and split-screen mode will automatically turn on when you start a game.

If split-screen mode isn’t working as expected, check your internet connection. Split-screen mode will only work if your connection is stable.

Fortnite can be played locally only with 2 player controllers in other words against other player in the same console.

Each account needs separate gold memberships or yes, you can purchase the family plan. If you're only planning on having 2 accounts though, the family plan might not be the best idea. The family plan is really only a deal if you have 4 accounts and there
have been some issues with the plan that haven't been worked out yet.

Hi I was going to ask the same question. Will be interested to find out the answer before spending ££

You can have multiple accounts, but they would each have to be under their own membership.
