Fortnite players furious as game is \u201cunplayable\u201d on Nintendo Switch Epic Games\/NintendoFortnite players are understandably furious since their Nintendo Switch consoles are unable to run the game according to their expectations, ultimately deeming it \u201cunplayable\u201d. Here\u2019s what they had to say about the game\u2019s poor performance and its possible causes. Epic Games\u2019 massively successful battle royale game Fortnite has left its imprint on many platforms, including Nintendo Switch. Fortnite has never failed to provide Switch owners with an exciting and entertaining gaming experience since its June 2018 launch. Even if the Switch\u2019s graphics aren\u2019t up to par with other gaming platforms, Epic has made Fortnite run beautifully on the device. Even in portable mode, Fortnite\u2019s colorful and cartoony art style looks great on the Switch\u2019s screen. However, players were dissatisfied with the 30 FPS framerate they achieved at maximum graphics settings and frequently reported frame drops. Players are now furious and are describing the game as \u201cunplayable\u201d on Switch, despite Epic fixing the flaws with frequent updates during Chapters 2, 3, and 4. Instead, the most recent Chapter 5 has brought those issues back. Fortnite players slam the game\u2019s unplayable quality on Nintendo Switch A Reddit user named Accomplished-One6774 posted a gameplay clip of one of their Ranked Battle Royale matches on the Fortnite Nintendo Switch version. With the gameplay, the user wrote, \u201cFortnite on Nintendo Switch is literally unfair and unplayable\u201d as the video showed the user experienced a massive glitch to go blinded on their screen completely. While the framerate of their gameplay was consistent at 30 FPS, the glitch caused their screen to go black while leaving only the HUD elements on the display. Several players who use a Nintendo Switch to play the game turned in their comments with similar thoughts about the game\u2019s performance on the portable device. One such user said, \u201cI\u2019ve had similar happen to me before \u2013 sometimes landing too close to trees makes the tree branch graphic get stuck to the camera.\u201d Another chimed in, \u201cI\u2019m thankful that I no longer play on Switch.\u201d A third user added, \u201cThis season is really the worst on Switch. I think it has something to do with all the new stuff being added into the game.\u201d A fourth one commented with a fix to the problem, \u201cGo into settings. And lower textures. I get this glitch all the time.\u201d While there were users who dissed the Switch due to its incapability of running an Unreal Engine 5 game, other users defended the device with one saying, \u201cYou can\u2019t blame Fortnite, the Switch wasn\u2019t made to run non-Nintendo games properly. Also, Fortnite is a very demanding game on the Switch so it\u2019s running at least somewhat normally is impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
