PC Master Race Fortnite Gamers Are In For A Huge Visuals Upgrade With v17.00
As computer components get better, so too do the visuals in games like Fortnite. When the new consoles from both Microsoft and Sony came out late last year, Epic Games introduced new visual effects and features to improve the player experience. Now, those upgraded visuals are finally making their way to PC on June 8th with the Fortnite v17.0.0 update.
Beginning with Chapter 2, Season 7, players on the Epic quality preset will notice "improved Storm and cloud effects, as well as enhanced simulations for smoke and liquid." Moreover, these players will also see improvements in post-processing and lens flare effects. All of this should culminate in better overall graphics in-game and a better experience, but it comes at a cost.
All told, Fortnite v17.00 should be fairly impressive considering the changes. Though it may take a little higher-end hardware to have the best experience, it should be worth it. Hopefully, we will see more changes like this in the future, so stay tuned to HotHardware for updates.
