Fortnite on the PS5?? Here’s What You Can Expect!

It has been quite some time since the PS5 has been officially released on the market for public consumption. But before that, Fortnite players had the PS4. It has been three years since the game developers first introduced Fortnite to the PS4 fans through the game’s Early Access Launch. Now, you might be wondering, what exactly does the PS5 have in store for Fortnite? Is Fortnite even on PS5?

Fortnite on PS5

The short answer is yes, Fortnite is playable on PS5. In fact, the game is getting a major upgrade for the PS5. This means that owners of the new consoles can upgrade to a more advanced version of the battle royale game for free. On PlayStation 5, the game runs in 4K at 60fps.

What Can You Expect from Fortnite on PS5?

Fortnite has been playable on the PS5 since its launch day with a few graphical and performance improvements. According to the experts in PlayStation, they are planning to take the following actions to create an elevated Fortnite experience:

• Tweaked the console’s custom RDNA 2 GPU to make the next generation version of Fortnite at 4K and up to 60 FPS in all game modes on PS5.
• The Zen 2 CPU + expanded memory allows the developers to use dynamic visuals and physics to make Fortnite Island even more realistic. Grass and trees respond to explosions, visual effects for smoke and liquid are enhanced, and there are new effects for clouds and the Storm.
• The developers have also tweaked the PS5’s ultra-high speed SSD, allowing them to upgrade loading performance, texture loading performance, and letting players start matches a whole lot faster.
• The PS5 also enjoys improved CPU, GPU, and memory, which allows Fortnite players to play Split Screen with a higher performance of up to 60 FPS.

Graphics Enhancements

Here are some graphics enhancements you should look out for if you’re playing Fortnite on the PS5:

• Fortnite takes full advantage of the PS5’s Boost Mode to deliver a silky smooth 120 frames per second performance at 4K resolutions.
• Split-screen feature runs at 60 FPS.
• On top of all of this, Fortnite on next-gen will show improvements with regards to water reflections, subtle shadows, cooler smoke and liquid effects as well as all-new storm and cloud effects.
• Since Fortnite isn’t too heavy on the graphics, it can be played smoothly on the PS5.
• Epic Games hinted that Fortnite will be moving to its next-generation graphics engine, Unreal Engine 5, sometime in early 2022.
• The PS5 is also capable of Ray tracing, a technology that enables advanced lighting techniques that makes games look brilliant. Fortnite is confirmed to be receiving this graphics enhancement on PC soon.

Epic Games said that Fortnite will be fully supporting the PS5’s Activities feature. This will allow players to jump directly into Fortnite’s lobbies right from the console’s dashboard. This is possible thanks to the PS5’s incredibly fast custom SSD drive.

Great Bonus for All Fortnite Players on the PS5

While entering a brand new generation of PlayStation is exciting, it might also be good to reminisce and look back at the older generations of the console. That is because the developers are offering all Fortnite players the Throwback Axe Pickaxe, the classic default Pickaxe from Fortnite Chapter 1 completely for free. Whether you pick it up on your PS4 or PS5, the Pickaxe will stay with you in your Fortnite Locker.

PlayStation developers will continue working on in-game updates whilst exploring the DualSense controller. Their goal is to explore new ways to maximize the potential of the console’s hardware. So, Fortnite players, watch out for this update in the months or years to come!
