Fortnite Festival will support local multiplayer starting Tuesday, January 14th. This means you can now sit in a room with your friends and jam together on plastic guitar controllers, just like in the good old days. Of course, most people don’t have plastic guitars like that anymore, but a regular controller will work just fine. The feature is coming to Xbox and PlayStation, with Festival Main Stage mode supporting up to four local players at a time. It might be a nostalgic thing, but are there rules like this?
Let’s get the band back together!! ️
