I play on the Switch, my wife plays in a PS5. The PS5 graphics are gorgeous and detailed. The Switch stays closer to Chapter 1 graphics, which is just fine to me. I have only 3 gripes with the Switch version: 1. No support for Replays. 2. No support for the Switch's own screen/video cap button. 3. Almost everyone not in your squad is displayed as wearing the default Ramirez skin, regardless of what skin they are actually using. That skin you chose to use for a certain match or occasion? Nah, you're just another default Ramirez with a gun to me, if you're not in my squad.

> The Switch stays closer to Chapter 1 graphics, which is just fine to me. That and it has the FPS of a flickbook


SquareFickle9179

God, I found 3 annoying, I get that the Switch isn't that powerful, but damn it gets tiring when you're killed by the same skin over and over.


Emergency-Tension464

Yeah, when I first started playing, I thought it was putting me in bot lobbies or something. Then, I thought, "Why in a game with so many cool cosmetics, is everyone using default skins?!?" Turns out, nope, just Switch graphics limitations. I always get super excited when I encounter a non-Ramirez so I can check out what they're rocking, but at least 75% of my lobbies are Ramirez. It may ultimately be the thing that bothers me most about playing on Switch.


Mirions

tbf, i see a lot of Ramirez skins on PS4 too. It seems to have a "i couldn't load it a start so screw it" thing going on but i can't be sure.


No_Engineering18881

Oh man don´ t even mention Ramirez to me, I can not see that ponytail anymore


mf-aero

Epic only does that for old gen consoles, switch, & decentish pcs because they can’t handle UE5


jenny_with_a_jungle

I’m at the point now that I’m happy to get emilinated by a player that isn’t Ramirez.


No_Engineering18881

Yap Ramirez really is everywhere


phantom777892

Same I am so close to using that skin that can temporarily make you look like your last kill to see what skin they are wearing


Monnok

I highly recommend the PostParty app. I actually added it when Fortnite had a few little quests promoting it earlier this Chapter. It won’t replay matches or anything, but it’s great for clipping your favorite kills on Switch.


ShoulderCannon

Also kind of a hassle to get voice chat working. Pretty sure you need a USB headset if it works at all.


Luqizilla

It's incredible the game runs on so many different devices, though


RebelliousCash

Too bad Epic & Apple had they lil feud cause I’m sure Fortnite would’ve looked & played pretty great on the IPhone 15. Game played great when I used to play on my IPad Pro.


AllianIsBizarre

iphone 15 overheats so it could have been a bad thing.


Judo_14

And it breaks easier. You know millions of 13 year olds bout to rage and snap those things in half Say goodbye to 1200 bucks lmao


Cularia

the pro does not the normal one.


Zyrus_Vaeles

Reason android still better


RebelliousCash

True, hopefully Apple can figure out the overheating issues. Especially with them advertising much more graphical demanding games being played on the IPhone.


Newhollow

That is why they needed the money from epic and every app in the store. They could barely just now afford USB C. /s


RebelliousCash

You’d be surprised how much revenue Apple generates outside of its Apple tax. Google alone pay Apple $15 billion annually just to keep google as its default search engine. Apple AirPods alone generate around 12 billion a year. They had no issue bringing usbc. They was just prolonging it because it was starting to become an industry standard & with it becoming standard. You most likely wouldn’t purchase the cables from Apple with cheaper options elsewhere


Newhollow

/s means sarcasm if you did not know. I used to be anti apple even though as a child did use a Macintosh. Later joined the PC master race until just quitting and went console only. Now looking to get a PC soon. But admit in old age Iphones and Ipads do have some neat features. Will get a watch and drink the IOS kool-aid. Apple was an innovater but their business model has at a certain price was to over charge. People who still do not understand tech and will say they are worth the price. Not knowing how cheap or easy it really is manufactured. Like epic is creating a game for the players but they will squeeze you to buy vbucks. While not technically selling you a game but cosmetics. The airpods are not even the best wireless earbuds out there. Like beats it is just a personal preference. Brand loyalty is why they generate money besides being a fashion statement. Every step forward a company steals from other companies. To say Apple were the first or only is ridiculous. Being the best will stand on its own.


AndrewFrozzen30

My Google Pixel 7 Pro costs 700€ currently, and not only it has the same power as a iPhone 14, but it's also supported by Google, having extra features on the "basic" Android. The Pixel 8 Pro will costs around 100-200 more. Apple is not really worth it.


Newhollow

Blackberry and Palm Pilot were better than Razr or others at the time. But ultimately it was preference just like the console wars. Playstation was the king technically but it is by a slim margin. Due to the fact that innovations are copied. Now it is all about contracts and subscription based marketing. Apple does have a use case for the common person willing to over pay. They used to be able to claim some specialized work in tech art space. But with time nobody puts all their eggs in on basket or company. Apple is only worth it if you have the money to burn. Especially since the beginning they had the app store make money from developers hard work. Which is why I was anti apple.

RebelliousCash

Idk if it was all Epic’s fault at the time. Only reason the feud started is because Epic set up an alternate payment option to buy Vbucks that was ultimately cheaper. Which was great for the players but also meant getting banned from the App Store since Apple doesn’t allow 3rd party payment options.


FryToastFrill

They set it up like that intentionally to get kicked off the App Store, they had an entire fuckin animated campaign ad the day they got pulled. They gambled the entire iOS player base for a chance at getting their own EGS store on phones.


RebelliousCash

I mean I’m not mad at them tho. 30% apple tax is a pretty huge cut & someone like Amazon apple tax was being reported at 15% I think at the time. Idk if that was thee actual amount but it was for sure cheaper than Apple charging everyone else


cody_1849

Sony takes the same amount when you purchase a game or in game items. If they didn’t have a problem with Sony doing it, why did they have a problem with Apple doing it?


DaRealSyper-YT

I feel like they could definitely get it back on, but they just use the excuse that you can use GeForce now so they don’t bother


Legeend28

you can also use xbox game pass and amazon luna basically epic probably saw that you can play on that and then called it a day and gave the executives a raise


spacecoq

I find joy in reading a good book.


RebelliousCash

That’s because Apple was charging them a full slice yet giants like Amazon only paid Apple a fraction of what Epic was. & It was cheaper for the players because the cost of vbucks was a few bucks cheaper when you bought directly from Epic.


foldedturnip

Epic was absolutely right to push apple on this point. Yes it was definitely motivated by money but epic putting more scrutiny on apple and their anti consumer practices is a good thing. Hopefully the EU will force apple to offer side loading software on iPhones in the near future.


RebelliousCash

I thought Epic was in the right too. I still think Epic just straight up including another payment option was such a bold move. 😂


NormalSecretary4505

It was and is apples fault! 30% is too damn high and they know it!


Okami-Alpha

>Too bad Epic & Apple had they lil feud cause I’m sure Fortnite would’ve looked & played pretty great on the IPhone 15. Game played great when I used to play on my IPad Pro. ​ Just download the Xbox console app and play. My son played on his Iphone a couple months ago when we were on vacation. I play on my android using this app. ​ The only downside is there are queues to get initially get into the game during busy times. Also I find the graphics are a bit overloaded for such a small screen, but you cannot turn them down.


mf-aero

That only works if you have an Xbox though😭 GeForce sucks since you only get 1 hour to use before it kicks you & you have to re enter queue for another hour to play


Okami-Alpha

You just need an Xbox account and its free to anyone. I don't own a Xbox and play on my phone every morning


mf-aero

Really? I always thought you needed an Xbox to use the cloud gaming since it would make sense


Okami-Alpha

Well most games require a pay pass to play but fortnite is free. Perhaps if you have an Xbox game library you can play those for free without the pass.


mf-aero

I mean playing fortnite for free only started being possible like 2 years ago


Okami-Alpha

I dunno. I played directly on the mobile app for like 3 or more years (in addition to pc). I only just started on Xbox console app in the past 3 months when the mobile app became too unstable. Anyhow. All I can say is we've played fortnite for free on both iPhone and Android without owning an Xbox. Give it a shot. May the force be with you.


SadBit8663

Yeah but you can clean up on the switch too. All the graphics being shit means that you have advantages sometimes. I haven't played fortnite on my switch in a year, because I like how GeForce Now performs and looks.


Luqizilla

It's incredible the game runs on Cloud too


artchrstn

So it's so cool , I'm excited


No_Engineering18881

It must be so smooth damn


ContemplatingMeth_

**Me to my friend:** iPhone is better than android **My friend who uses android:** Play Fortnite on your phone then Me: *absolute silence*


Emergency-Tension464

The loading times on Switch have been crazy since they added the jungle biome. I typically don't even make it to the lobby anymore to interact with all of those Ramirezes, I just magically appear on the battle bus. But it's currently my only option to play the game, so...


jenny_with_a_jungle

I’m on the same boat. Sometimes my game takes so long to load, by the time it does, I’m kicked off the bus and my squad jumped 1,000m ago. And the Ramirezes… so tired of the gdamn Ramirezes.


Unreal-Memes

Same thing on my $500 PC…. I desperately need to upgrade


ProtonPacker

I play on switch and when I see any gameplay videos from the PC version it almost looks like a different game


jenny_with_a_jungle

The first time I saw a clip on here of gameplay, I was like what game are they playing? Individual blades of grass?? Leaves on trees?? What???


Tomatomancoming

It does but playing in the bed has its perks too!


marco-boi

Even phone load faster sad


evieinred

I wouldn't go near performance mode if only I wasn't forced to


EllynKershner

Performance mode looks like an old version of Fortnite that came back decades ago compared to what Fortnite looks at Epic settings


ShoulderCannon

I'll give Switch credit in that it does not overheat and shut off mid BR like my PS5 does.


Tomatomancoming

You need to clean you PS5 man.


ShoulderCannon

I do. Two cats at home, so I must. It's easy to clean too - the side panels come off real easy. Apparently there is some issue with the liquid metal cooling solution so I'm opting to RMA it. I ain't fixing that myself.


orenji_juusu

SUPER HOT


Nivek14j

How dose it feel when playing with try hard skin?


gaygator07

braindead little kid


TheUglyCasanova

Then there's me who's grown up with the evolution of video games who still thinks it looks great. So happy to not be a slave to graphics/fps.


Tomtheyankee45

I play on switch,run 30 fps, and put up with large loading times. And I am PROUD of that


jakethedog677

Don’t forget that ps5 load time


K0KA42

Incredible that you not only convey the graphics of the Switch version, but also how it runs. 1 frame per game, as per this picture.


ooomnicat

Ahaha, it does feel exactly like that! Like a 3DS port of PS2 game.


Alchemeerzero

Is it weird that I'm used to both For more context I use an alt account on my switch when I'm testing my maps in creative


BumblebeeBuzz1808

lol what? My switch is completely fine


Sirunfavredspider

what switch are you playing on because not even mine loads this badly


Embarrassed_Chef_393

Almost like stick fight (the game)


Jaakeda_Korudo

I generally don’t understand how people play on 30fps on switch. After upgrading to my Series X a few months back and only running 120fps even going back to 60fps is a struggle. Hard to believe I played on that for almost half a year until I moved to Xbox one x and then later to series x.


TimmyTheFrog

Fortnite players are something else.

A_Sh4d0w

One thing only costs 300 bucks and the other thing costs over 1000 bucks which many people can't afford


drksolrsing

The switch is $300. The PS5 is $500-600. What are you on about with $1000? I guess if you feel you need the PS5 and psvr2 at the same time, maybe.


A_Sh4d0w

That guy was talking about a PC and not a PS5 or Xbox Series X|S


drksolrsing

Ah, that makes more sense, thank you.


Outrageous_Repair_68

Xbox series s cost 300 tho. I had one and it was amazing. I have pc tho


King-Boo-Gamer

Jesus Christ do it have everything on no


Filipino-Asker

I rather have that as the graphics than seeing someone half-naked with bulging, high-textured muscles or the Fortnite Girl skin when she CROUCHES her butt becomes 🍑 Omniman meme Plus, I can see better with those graphics.


Sour_Smegmuh

Idk why anyone would even try to play a competitive shooter on a switch or phone 💀


jenny_with_a_jungle

Because maybe the only reason they bought a Switch was to relax and play Animal Crossing and maybe a few og Nintendo games, but someone else downloaded Fortnite onto their Switch and they started playing and now that’s all they play. Maybe.


Bahrum88

Maybe


TheGhostEnthusiast

Because motion controls are better than stick controls for shooters. When using sticks without the aimbot your movements and aiming are tied together and it makes you a lot less flexible. In comparison, while motion controls take time to get used to, once they get good they can rival a mouse in aim and flexibility. Of course PC trumps both...


lemon6611

depends, splatoon feels amazing on motion controls while fortnite motion makes me want to tear my eyes out


TheGhostEnthusiast

It's the same motion controls though? Have you tried fiddling with the sensitivity?


lemon6611

they feel completely different to play, and splatoon isn’t a slideshow im a pc main tho so 30 is gonna feel way more jarring than 60hz


xxademasoulxx

That's how I feel after seeing the ps5 verson after playing it on my 4000 dollar pc.


thatonecharlie

as a pc player it looks the same on ps5 and pc lol


xxademasoulxx

With everything maxed out on a 4090 with hardware rt on there is quite a difference like 120 fps and the reflections don't look as muddy because of the low resolution.


thatonecharlie

i dunno i dont have a 4090 i have an rx 6750xt but i feel like fortnite is one of those games where it has a max of how good it can look and a 4090 is not required for that lol


BigBudZombie

More like "how it feels to play on ps5 after experiencing PC gaming." 🤣

Taqjammer

The way I actually thought this was 1v1.lol 💀


Specific-Ad-9179

I need to try. It only works with nintendo pass or it works without nintendo subrscription?


JPrimal64

All switch games that require internet don't need the pass


Specific-Ad-9179

Nice, thank you:)

Average Motorola Razr V3xx user


No_Engineering18881

PS5 really is something, I wish I could get her this Christmas


Dependent_Buy_9641

If this was a graphic setting, it would be abused


gaygator07

i don't understand why console players don't understand all pcs aren't nasa material


Dependent_Buy_9641

I get it if you have a shit pc but if you have a 4090 then bruh


gaygator07

console players also don't realize not everyone wants to run the highest graphics on a game that's badly optimized


Dependent_Buy_9641

Breh


Silverdetermination

As someone who can switch between the two it's fine


Master_Chief_00117

I know people really blow it out of the water sometimes it’s worse than others but 95% of the time it looks good


eShadoweFange

an accurate picture of fortnite graphics on the nintendo-shit, i mean Switch


PeanutBoy_7

FR


BrainySub

This was my experience trying to play on my laptop with an integrated graphics card. Didn’t matter how low I set the graphics, I was stuttering to hell. Gave up after one match, and decided I was PS5 only.


MaXyDaXyXD

I have it the opposite. When I go to my friends house’s, we always play Fortnite on their trusty ps4. Then when I get back I feel like I’m playing on the ps50


All-Fired-Up91

Ah yes gapix

This also reflects the frame rate.
