Epic has yet to find a platform it hasn't wanted to put Fortnite on ΓÇö only
ones it wasn't allowed to put the game on ΓÇö so its not surprising the
developer is going all out with the Nintendo Switch 2. Not only will the
Switch 2 version of Fortnite support both graphical and performance
improvements that bring it in line with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X /
S, it'll also offer mouse controls if you're playing with the Joy-Con 2.

Mouse control will let you aim with one or both Joy-Con 2 and navigate the UI
with a cursor, bringing the console experience closer to how the game works
on PC. "With mouse controls, the right analog stick will be disabled, and
youΓÇÖll rotate your character by using the selected Joy-Con 2 controller(s)
as a mouse," Epic says. The primary click will be assigned to the ZR button
unless you're using the left Joy-Con 2, and you can swap which analog stick
controls movements to accommodate whichever controller you want to use.

Without an extended period of time to try mouse control out, its hard to say
whether it'll make Switch 2 Fortnite players more accurate, but there's other
benefits to running the game on Nintendo's new console. For example, Fortnite
on Switch 2 will run at 60 fps, at a 2,176 x 1,224 resolution while docked
and a 1,600 x 900 resolution while undocked. The game will also support
things like greater view distances, clothing physics and Nintendo's new
GameChat social feature for streaming what you're playing to friends.

The game, as ever, remains completely free. If you managed to secure a Switch
2, though, you'll want to delete your old copy of Fortnite for Nintendo
Switch after transferring your data from your old console to your new one.
Graphical improvements and mouse control are only available from the Switch 2
version of the game, which you can download directly from the Nintendo eShop
on June 5.
