First, you’re going to have to know how to change the settings.

This will open up the main menu, and from there, you can navigate to the gear icon to adjust your settings. Super easy and quick!

Fortnite on Switch: The Best Settings

The Nintendo Switch isn't exactly known for powerhouse performance, and with Fortnite upgrading to a new Unreal Engine plus ditching the option to turn off cross-play for Switch users, it's not getting any easier to keep up.

You're stuck at 30 FPS in PC lobbies, but tweaking a few settings can still enhance your gameplay. A key upgrade is using a proper controller. While Joy-Cons are decent, especially with the comfort grip, opting for a full-sized controller offers a better feel and improved playability. But other than hardware, what settings can you change to enhance your gameplay.
