Fortnite menus are full of thoughtful customization options. From accessibility features to finely-tuned audio mixes to social settings and much more, Epic has gone to great lengths to make its massive platform suit players of all types. One thing many players want to do is adjust the frame rate in Fortnite, but that process can vary based on your platform. In this short guide, we'll show you how to change the frame rate, and what your options will be based on where you're playing Fortnite.

V-Sync is meant to help prevent screen tearing, so your mileage may vary when testing out the many different frame rate options on Fortnite for PC.
On Xbox Series X and PS5, the options include 60 frames per second and 120 frames per second, though if you run it in 120 on those systems, you'll lose the 4K resolution. You can still hit 60 frames on Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and PS4 Pro as well. Playing with base models of those last-gen platforms, meanwhile, is going to stick you with 60 frames per second no matter what, and without the option for 4K resolution, which is how it is on mobile too.
Switch's worst-in-class resolution makes it all look noticeably rough in comparison to any other platform. Fortunately for Nintendo players, even the Switch frame rate approaches 60 frames per second, though it doesn't tend to reach that consistently.
