The new Fortnite PS5 graphics are out of this world

Fortnite Battle Royale already boasted some pretty clean graphics on PS5, but it's just got a major upgrade. Epic Games has added new enhancements unleashed through Unreal Engine 5.1 in the release of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 for PS5, Xbox Series X and S and PC.

Geometry and lighting are improved, and shadows and reflections should look more realistic and respond to modelled detail, making everyone's favourite survival game look better than ever. Still looking for a PS5 to play on? See our guide to the best PS5 prices and our PS5 review.
