The new generation will bring a large number of new games, although yes, with all the delays we have suffered, they will not be all we expected. But in addition to all those, there will be other old acquaintances that will remain at the top of the table, since there are some who still have a lot of rope to cut. And one of them is Fortnite.
Fortnite improvements in the new generation
With the idea of clarifying any pending doubts, Epic Games have shared all the news that their beloved Fortnite will include when it is available to download the versions of PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. And the game will improve so much graphically as at the performance level, and all thanks to the fact that the game has been written natively for the new consoles, instead of applying some simple adjustments as you might think.
This intense work will allow us to enjoy a completely improved Fortnite, and that is what the lists of improvements that the brand has officially shared indicate. And no, when you take the leap, you won’t lose anything you already have.
Jumping to the new generation
When you start playing Fortnite on the new PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X | S, all your progress will continue to be with you. Thanks to the settings and progress of your profile are attached to your account, you will only have to log in to continue with your entire collection of cosmetics.
Both Xbox Series X and PS5 will allow Fortnite to be played in 4K at 60 images per second , but in addition to enjoying said resolution with the smoothness of 60 images per second, the consoles will be able to apply new graphic effects .
For example, grass and trees will respond to the effect of explosions (we imagine that we will see the shock wave and collateral damage from the explosion), and the fluids will now look more real, drawing attention to the texture of water or smoke, for example . The storm and clouds will also have new effects, so the setting on the island seems to be more spectacular than usual.
Xbox Series S is affected again
Continuing with the general trend and the obvious, Xbox Series S will stay in the resolution of 1080 pixels with a rate of 60 images per second , however, the most striking thing is that the small Microsoft console will not reproduce all the effects of its sister higher. Epic has not gone into details, so we will have to see what effects are those that we can not enjoy on the white console.
The games will start very fast
All consoles will offer fast start of the games, since thanks to the new technologies of the SSD units, the games will start faster than ever, being able to load textures quite quickly and generally improving the loading experience. Also, in common in all consoles, the split screen mode has been improved, a multiplayer mode that will work, again, at 60 images per second.
Special for PS5
As far as the Sony console is concerned, Epic Games has taken advantage of the novelties of the Dual Sense to introduce some striking effects for the player. Now, thanks to haptic technology, the controller will be able to transmit different vibrations when using a silenced submachine gun or a bolt-action rifle.
Another novelty related to the Sony console is that we can place a direct access in the main menu of the console to the battle royale room that we want, in order to enter the games almost immediately.
All these novelties will be available as soon as the consoles go on sale, so you will only have to download the game and start playing to start enjoying them.
