Fortnite has always been a game best played with friends. The latest update, Patch 11.30, gives players more options to do this with a new split-screen mode. The mode can be used by players in both duos and squads on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Split Screen has long been one of Fortnite’s most sought after features, but the process is more demanding than most fans believe. The console effectively has to render the entire game world twice, while ensuring that the performance of both versions remains consistent and playable.
In patch notes for patch 11.30, Epic says that this is an early version of split-screen and that it will be improved in the future. While there will almost certainly be mode errors, Epic asks players to easily report them using the in-game feedback tool.
Patch 11.30 also provides the ability to review the item shop through the Mobile Party Hub Fortnite app. In addition, you can give up to three items a day to friends. Epic has also updated the ammo indicator, which is just below your target crosshairs, so it’s now an actual number, not just a solid line.
