Watch Fortnite: Battle Royale running in 4K and 60 FPS on Xbox One X

Epic continues to roll out updates for its last-player-standing shooter Fortnite: Battle Royale, and the latest patch has it running at 60 frames per second and a 4K resolution at the same time on the Xbox One X. This is a big update as the game ran at a dynamic resolution that occasionally hit 4K and 30 FPS up until recently.

I hopped onto the Xbox One X version last night to see how it looks. Fortnite has had a polished sheen relative to competitors like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which can look grimy with its attempts at photorealism. Fortnite also ran at a solid 30 frames per second — but that means that the upgrades to 4K and even to 60 frames per second aren’t earth-shattering. These are nice improvements to have, but if you were already playing on an Xbox One X, you may not notice much of a difference during gameplay.
