Epic Games, the team behind gaming juggernaut, Fortnite, have today announced that the battle-royal game will be available on both Xbox Series X and PS5 when the consoles launch later this year.
There will be no differences in the gameplay or visuals other than the obviously improvements of rendering time and smoothness. Epic have thus far been coy about just how the game plans to take advantage of the updated hardware, but it’s sure to add a whole new layer of realism & smoothness to the game.
Along with the exciting announcement, they have also confirmed that the game will continue to support older generations of PlayStation & Xbox, whilst allowing cross-generational accounts to continue with their stats and rankings.
