Fortnite Launches on Nintendo Switch 2 With 60FPS, Mouse Support, GameChat

Epic Games has launched a significantly upgraded version of Fortnite for the Nintendo Switch 2, coinciding with the console's release. The new port runs at a stable 60 FPS with higher resolution graphics, greater view distances, and improved visual effects, offering a gaming experience comparable to PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S. Notably, the game now supports mouse controls using the Switch 2's advanced Joy-Con controllers, with customizable settings for left, right, or both controllers, enhancing gameplay and UI navigation. Additional features include GameChat support for streaming with up to three friends and a Replay system to revisit highlights from matches. However, the Save the World PvE mode will not be available on Switch 2, though all other Fortnite modes are accessible. Players who log in by March 31, 2026, will receive a free exclusive Wishing Star Emote as a bonus for playing on the new console.
