While it may have seemed like a foregone conclusion Epic Games has made it official by announcing that Fortnite will indeed be coming to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 at launch and will run on Unreal Engine 4 when it is released but, thanks to the company’s efforts to allow for forward compatibility, it will be transitioning to Unreal Engine 5 halfway through 2021.
The company did not state if the paid aspect of Fortnite, “Save the World,” will transfer to next-gen platforms if already purchased on current platforms but for now, Fortnite is available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
