Epic Games finally released a maintenance patch for PS5 in the outputting at 1080 pixel instead of 4k when it’s not in 120 FPS mode for the players who are using certain displays.
With the release of this new patch, the PS5 users are allowed to use the 120 FPS mode option to appear in Fortnite. But, to make it appear in the PS5’s settings, they have to enable the Performance Mode in their console’s settings. To access it, you can go to Save Data and Game/App Settings, and then choose Game Presets continue by choosing the Performance Mode.
While for the players who prefer 4K over 120 FPS, they shouldn’t enable the Performance Mode in their console’s settings. So they cannot get the 120 FPS feature.

Moreover, the Fortnite players who are using the next generation console really will have a chance to get an additional feature in Fortnite video settings.

Moreover, the frame rate is an important factor which can affect the players’ gameplay in connection-intensive games like Fortnite. However, having a reliable frame rate will allow the players to always be a step ahead of their enemies.
In fact, the PS5 players will need the display support which can allow smooth 120 FPS transitions. From this update, we think that playing Fortnite on PS5 as the next-gen consoles will be a superb benefit for both usual and competitive players.
Before the 1.008 patch notes released, Epic Games has optimized the shadow settings, streaming distance and also postprocessing appropriately for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
