How can I add 2nd player in Fortnite using same console?

You can find instructions here https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-U...-split-screen-mode-in-fortnite-a5720311864347

But normally including Fortnite it is not necessary. Normally for all other playing must be console started with my account, then my children can switch to their account and everything is OK. I have the only problem with this split screnn feature, that is
why I am trying to understand, if I can use the splitscreen somehow without making the console the home Xbox.

Generally I found the only way how to run Fortnite splitscreen on my console:

1. returned back my home Xbox to my console

2. start Fortnite under occount of one child

3. inside game first log out other players and then log in second child - only in this case possibility to add 2nd player become active.

The 2nd player can play the game since it's on the same console, I just want the 2nd person to be able to open my world without being in 2 player mode.

I'm sorry Teenzy, but you can only share gold membership, games and add-on if you play on the same console (Split-Screen). If you want to play with the other player on the 2nd console you have to buy the season pass on that console/account as well

I understand that you have two Xbox consoles and want to play Fortnite on both at the same time with separate accounts.

Here are some steps you could follow:

Share your Game Pass subscription: Microsoft allows you to share your Game Pass subscription between two consoles. You can set one of the consoles as your “primary Xbox,” which means the Game Pass subscription will be available to everyone on that console. Any titles you own as part of your game library will also be available to anyone on that secondary console

Use split screen mode: If both players are in the same location, you can use split screen mode in Fortnite. Connect a second controller to the console and select a user account. In Fortnite, hold “X” (PlayStation) or “A” (Xbox) to log into player 2

Using the same Fortnite account on different consoles: Players can use the same Fortnite account on different consoles.

However, you will need to link each of your console accounts to your Epic Games account to enable cross-platform use.
