Fortnite Festival will support local multiplayer starting Tuesday January 14, which means you can sit in a room with your friends and jam out on plastic guitar controllers together like the good old days. Of course, most of us probably don’t have those plastic guitars anymore, but regular controllers work just as well. The feature is coming to Xbox and PlayStation, and up to four local players will be supported at a time for the Festival Main Stage mode. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking, but these kind of rules?
BRING BACK THE BAND ‼️
