Fortnite is already playable on a wide range of PCs but Epic is putting efforts into making its user base as broad as possible. From today it is making available a mode that is designed to be the best choice for low spec PCs, hoping to broaden the game s appeal and platforms upon which it is viable to play. Performance Mode introduces not only better in-game performance but it can reduce the game s storage requirements significantly by opting out of high-res texture pack downloads. Please note this is labelled as an Alpha feature and supports only the Battle Royale and Creative modes for now.

Epic says Performance Mode for Fortnite is in Alpha stage
Fortnite will now be able to run at higher frame rates on more PCs with less-capable hardware. This has been made possible with the new Performance Mode that is currently in its Alpha stage and it reduces visual quality for better frames per second (fps). While Fortnite is not a very demanding game to begin with, this new Performance Mode will allow a larger number of PC users to experience the game at higher frame rates than they re used to on their configuration. The new mode will be available starting today, December 15.

Epic Games are pushing out Fortnite update 15.10 today, which is all about increasing performance for an ever wider group of players.
On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S there’s a new 120fps mode that applies to both Battle Royale and Creative modes of the game – you can find the toggle in the Fortnite Video settings. It’s not clear what resolution and video settings playing at 120fps will result in, but expect a fair few sacrifices to be made to get there.

Epic have also further optimised the game on Xbox Series S, so that the standard 60fps mode now has a maximum resolution of 1200p, up from 1080p. That should add a touch of added clarity to the game on the lighter new generation console.
