However, gamers are concerned about the availability of the Split screen feature in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1.

The Split screen feature was quite an interesting one considering it allowed two gamers to enjoy the game on a single device. However, the feature is exclusive to consoles and gamers on other devices are not eligible to access it.

Unfortunately, Fortnite data miners have also not released any information regarding the Split screen feature being disabled.


The Split screen feature may be re-added in Fortnite Chapter 3

The removal of the Split screen feature will raise several eyebrows in the gaming community as players wonder when the feature will return to Fortnite Chapter 3.

According to Epic's official website, the developers are trying their best to re-enable the feature as quickly as possible. However, no specific date has been mentioned so far.

It seems that Epic is making some changes to the system and Split screen will be added back once things are up and running smoothly. However, there is no certainty whether it will return during Season 1 of Chapter 3.

Gamers will have to be patient and adopt a wait-and-watch policy regarding the Split screen issue.
