Fortnite: Launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X Next Week

Updated on

As expected, Fortnite is moving to the next generation of consoles. After having a more humble start on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, Fortnite will arrive on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 right away. Times have certainly changed since the last generation of consoles. These two new consoles promise to revolutionize gaming on these advanced processors. Features 4 and giant storage are among the most talked about. When Fortnite launched, it had a troubled start. Now, when launching in the new generation, the trend is to succeed.

Epic Games' Fortnite will be available at the launch of the Xbox Series X on November 10 and PlayStation 5 on November 12. Thanks to the Fortnite developers, some new gaming experiences have been released on these next generation consoles.

Fortnite on Xbox Series X/S

The new consoles from Microsoft come in the form of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. It is worth remembering that the two consoles have several differences. These differences are in specifications, prices and size. Fortnite: Battle Royale will work differently depending on whether you play in Series X or Series S. Below is an analysis provided by Epic Games.
