Can you play LEGO Fortnite split-screen? Multiplayer co-op explained

If you're wondering whether you can play local split-screen with your friends in LEGO Fortnite, then you've come to the right place to find out all of the multiplayer options available to you in this game mode.

Whether you're starting afresh or using a specific seed in the game, there are certainly multiplayer options for you to enjoy in LEGO Fortnite, and what's more fun than playing LEGO with your friends?

Can you play LEGO Fortnite split-screen?

The short answer is no, at this time you cannot play LEGO Fortnite split-screen. This means that you can only use online functionality to invite friends to your world to play with.

However, LEGO Fortnite is cross-platform, so you can at least play with friends on other systems. So, for example, if one of you plays on Switch, and the other on PC or another console, you can technically play in the same room together. But, it just means you're going to have to play online.

Fortunately, playing online together is a pretty simple process, and you can even use voice chat if you're far away from eachother. All you'll need to do is make sure you've got a group of friends handy to embark on a LEGO adventure with you.

• Create a new world with all your preferred settings
• Once in the world, head to the start menu
• Scroll across to the 'Players' tab
• Select 'Invite Players' and add the friends you wish to include in your world

You can also give a friend a World Key, which means they can visit your world and edit it even when you're not online! Make sure you only give these to a trusted friend, though. You don't want them smashing all your buildings up while you're away.

And that's it. Once you've invited players, you can follow in our footsteps and create an adorable village or start exploring all the different biomes (or spawn in a load of cows to cause havoc... not that I would know anything about that).
