So, when will LEGO Fortnite officially be getting split-screen? And what exactly is the new feature?

While split-screen has been a thing in Fortnite for consoles for quite some time, the game has never had it in LEGO Fortnite. With so many massive updates coming to the game, however, this addition should not come as a surprise.

Still, fans are pretty ecstatic about the new add to the game.

So, what is split-screen? Split-screen is when two players can play together on one console, with the game split in half on the screen. Each split will show one player's gameplay. This is a useful mechanic for those having friends over.
