Epic: Fortnite running at 60 FPS on Switch “not in the cards”, video capture not returning
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Fortnite is able to run at 60 frames per second on a few platforms, but Switch limits things to 30 FPS. Unfortunately, that’s how things will remain going forward. Speaking in a Reddit AMA, a developer at Epic Games said the following when asked about 60 FPS support on Switch: “I’m afraid that is not in the cards.”

The studio doubled down on this by saying that there aren’t any plans to re-implement the functionality. On the bright side, Epic is working on server-side replays for the future.
