The differences between console and PC players have often been a hot topic in the Fortnite community as it always has been with any competitive game. Cross-platform servers have long been in the Battle Royale and tweaked since they were first released to make it fair and balanced, but players aren\u2019t convinced. Fortnite player Forward_Number293 kicked off the discussion: \u201cIt is extremely difficult to spot enemies on PS5.\u201d They explained: \u201cI absolutely beamed a PC player\u2026 I cracked his shield + hit him for 30ish white health and shockwaved halfway up the grassy hill to finish him off. Out of nowhere, bullets start coming through the grass and he melts me while I\u2019m at full health and overshield. I couldn\u2019t see him at all, but there was no tall grass on his screen, so I died.\u201d \u201cThe foggy woods by Rebels Roost is another part of the map where console players are at a massive disadvantage. I watch PC streams and it is totally unfair how easily they can see people that console players just can\u2019t.\u201d Various players chimed in with similar experiences. \u201cI\u2019m a PC player who recently started playing on PS5 and it really is almost a different game. I didn\u2019t realize how dark some areas could get with all the pretty lighting effects forced on,\u201d one said. A player responded: \u201cYep I went from PC to PS5 cause my PC broke down and my skill level got cut in half once on controller.\u201d Another added: \u201cTo see what many PC players see as opposed to what I see is so frustrating. Opponents just stand out on PC with low settings. It\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d Various PC players agreed with the claimed competitive advantages and echoed the view: \u201cYa\u2026 I kinda hate Fortnite for that. I\u2019m a PC player, but I play with all my graphics turned all the way up. I know if I wanted to take my competitiveness to the next level, I\u2019d have to turn the graphics down.\u201d Others highlighted further issues that give PC players a claimed advantage in cross-platform matches. These included PC players having better FPS, spawning more cheaters, advanced settings options, higher performance hardware, and much more. In regards to the \u201ctall grass\u201d not rendering on PS5 in the OP\u2019s post, console players are unable to change their Max View Distance. However, PC players can increase this in their settings to avoid not seeing small objects on the Island, such as trees, bushes, and grass. Despite the obvious option Fortnite players have to turn off cross-play in the settings, they agreed that this either considerably increases the wait time or \u201cliterally will just tell you it can\u2019t find a match.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite PS5 issues give \u201cmassive disadvantage\u201d compared to PC GronKy \/ Epic GamesFortnite players on consoles have had enough of the rendering, FPS, and lighting issues found on PS5 compared to PC players, who they believe have a competitive advantage.
