Fortnite Switch 2 Technical Specs Revealed: 60FPS, Boosted Resolution, Mouse Controls

Epic Games has detailed its technical specifications for the new version of Fortnite coming to Nintendo Switch 2, and revealed that mouse support would arrive in an imminent patch.

As you'd expect, this fresh version of the hit battle royale will arrive with an improved frame-rate (now 60FPS) and better resolution (2176x1224 when Switch 2 is docked, or 1600x900 undocked).

The new Nintendo console also allows for a greater draw distance, so you can pull off more of those sweet long range shots, as well as clothing physics and higher-quality textures, shadows and water rendering.

Replays, which are not available in the Switch 1 version of Fortnite, will finally be available for you to peruse and see which horrible person killed you. The game's original Save the World portion will still not be available, however, as it has never been sold on Nintendo platforms.

The next main Fortnite update, version 37.00, will add mouse controls when Epic makes it available to download this Saturday, June 7. As you'd expect, by default your mouse will replace the right analog stick and allow you to look using the Joy-Con 2's optical sensor instead.

Mouse controls will be unlocked for all major Fortnite modes (Battle Royale, Zero Build, Team Rumble, Reload, Reload - Zero Build, Fortnite OG and Fortnite OG Zero Build). You'll also be able to use mouse controls in menus.
