Somewhat mirroring the approach it took with Grand Theft Auto V earlier in the year, Sony showed Fortnite running on the PlayStation 5 for the first time during its livestream overnight – and it looks, well, pretty good. The title is utilising Unreal Engine 4, and while it’s just a glimpse, the improvements are obvious. Crucially, all of your progress and purchases will carry across.
Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, boss Jim Ryan explained how important it is for the Japanese giant to keep communities together as it transitions to a new generation. “If we're going to have the scale and pace of a platform transition that we aspire to,” he explained, “it's very important that we are careful not to neglect any one of these sub-communities that attach themselves very faithfully to particular titles.”

Until it supports gyro aiming, I'll always be playing it on Switch.

BESSS CONSAL OF AL TIEM
I don’t like Fortnite so I’m gonna post angrily about not liking it.
I didn’t realise people were still playing fortnite. Honestly haven’t seen anyone play it on twitch for about 12 months.
Wow, it looks like the exact same thing.
Had my kids watch the trailer and the said it was shinier but mostly looked the same. Very strange choice to have that in the showcase at all. Could've just been a blog post with the trailer but ah well
They showed GTA V running on PS4
I jumped back in with some friends recently because of the Marvel themed season. We've been having a lot of fun!!
People sure love to hate Fortnite, but honestly it's a very good battle royale with plenty of mission objectives and events, that you don't even need to win to have a good time.
@Kalvort
I like it a lot because it’s the one game that my entire group likes to play and we can play together despite being on different consoles.
I play on Switch, two of them play on PS4, and one plays on Xbox One.
Plus it’s actually a pretty fun game. Just squad up with friends instead of randoms and it’s a fun time.
@Boxmonkey I'm not a fan but it's currently the 4th most popular game on Twitch.
This is Fortnite graphics in 2020.
Or however that old meme went.
I bet there were a lot of people on the fence about getting a PS5 until they knew Fortnite was coming to the console.
@TheFrenchiestFry I laughed hard. Well played!
There are parents who actually sued them because in their opinion this game was designed to psychologically hook the casual player, Fortnite was not made by funny people I'm positive, it's just bad hormones seeping through your brain making you think you're having a good time.
@Abdessgal Uhm,like with every video game?
@rachetmarvel Listening to a good music will make you feel good but so does smoking crack, everyone knows crack is bad for you, crack users won't say the same. You'll remember a meal if you had a good one, Battle Royales are just the fast food chain equivalent, repetitive quick fix to mask the bad and mostly unsatifying taste.
