Epic Games has released the Fortnite Xbox One X update which boosts the game’s visual settings comparable a PC on “Epic” quality.

　　The update offers 4K resolution support on Xbox One X, although the content isn’t rendered in native 4K. Instead, content is being rendered in 80% of 4K and then upscaled to 4K using a high-quality software upsampler. Fortnite’s Xbox One X HUD is being rendered in 4K however.

　　“Epic” quality settings include better-quality reflections, greater draw distances, higher resolution textures and shadows, and higher quality post processes like motion blur, anti-aliasing, and depth of field. For all Xbox One X enhancements, check out the official release notes for patch V.1.9.1, which we’ve included below:
