Additional Notes
•As Fortnite supports cross-platform play, please ensure that your device is capable of handling the game's requirements to ensure a seamless experience.
•You should keep extra space free when you are updating the game, as regular updates can increase its storage requirements.
•It must also be noted that Fortnite has a 'Performance Mode' for those with lower-spec hardware or if you're having performance issues. It reduces graphic fidelity for smoother gameplay for those playing with lower-spec hardware or on lower-spec hardware.
•There are cloud gaming services such as NVIDIA GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming that you can use if your device does not meet these requirements for playing Fortnite, since the game runs on remote servers rather than your device.
•As a way to optimize your system, make sure your drivers (especially graphics drivers) are up to date, close unnecessary background applications, and consider lowering the graphics settings if you experience lag and performance drops.
•To check if your PC meets these requirements, you can either use the built-in system information tool that comes with Windows, or you can visit Epic's website for a tool that checks your PC against the game's requirements automatically by using a tool called "Can You Run It?".
Note: Remember, while these specs are current as of 2024, Epic Games might update them with new features or graphical enhancements. Always check the latest requirements from Epic Games or Fortnite's official channels before upgrading or buying new hardware. |
