Fortnite just received a massive update for Nintendo Switch 2, boosting the visuals and draw distances, while kicking up the performance to a steady 60FPS. It’s a vastly different experience when compared to the Switch’s often uneven offering, with a bunch of enhancements that help make Fortnite feel like a completely different game on the new hardware. Nintendo Switch 2 boasts a feature that’s not available on other consoles too, the mouse and Joy-Con control scheme that’s quickly become my absolute favorite way to play.
Epic Games has transformed the experience of Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2 by bringing it up to relative parity to PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. It’s brilliant in handheld mode, with a great balance of visual fidelity, and quality of life fixes like the increased draw distances. Opponents are easy to spot, and water effects are particularly gorgeous thanks to higher quality rendering.
