Fortnite Chapter 4 Brings Significant Upgrade to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC

To accompany the launch of Fortnite Chapter 4, Impressive Games chose to push out a major graphical increase for the game on current-gen platforms. This suggests that the visuals seen throughout PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC should be far better than what was seen throughout Chapter 3 of Fortnite. In some ways, this isn't that big of a shock considered that Impressive has formerly notified gamers that it would be updating the graphics of Fortnite thanks to the newly found power that is seen with Unreal Engine 5.

All in all, the visuals of Fortnite should retain their exact same general aesthetic with this upgrade, but lighting, shadows, performance, and textures have actually all been significantly improved. Legendary specifically says that buildings, trees, and other various items that are part of landscapes within Fortnite should look drastically much better than previously. While it might be weird to think about Fortnite as one of the best-looking video games that's offered to play at the minute, this brand-new enhancement with Chapter 4 absolutely makes this the case.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 has formally begun today, and as expected, this suggests a vast variety of overhauls have actually now come with it. Not only has the iconic fight royale island received another facelift, but Legendary Games has actually also added a brand-new Battle Pass which contains the similarity Gerald of Trivia and Doom Slayer. And while all of these new additions are great in their own way, Fortnite gamers on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC are perhaps getting the greatest boost from Chapter 4's release.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 is now live throughout all platforms that the game is readily available on. If you want to see more of the options that are now readily available for the PC version of Fortnite, however, you can find them listed below.
