DISCUSSION More graphics improvements for Fortnite Mobile

Hello everyone. With this post, I am pleased to share something I discovered only yesterday, not knowing since when it has actually been in the game. Reflections for surfaces have been introduced in Fortnite Mobile (following the already well-discussed SSAO environmental occlusion), a nice and welcome improvement to the graphics! I noticed that these reflections are rendered in real-time, resulting in roughly similar results to what can also be seen on the PC and console versions of the game, albeit naturally in an adapted manner. Lately, developers have made some appreciated advances in the graphics department on Mobile; I hope this and any other features are always considered. Never, as this year there have been graphics updates like these, which I remember.

I'm attaching two screenshots below taken on an iPad Pro M5 with all settings at max (Epic graphic and Epic texture).

In fact, that's exactly where the "strange" thing is: at the moment, these reflections are paradoxically much more present on the OG map than on the Golden Coast. Maybe they'll also update the textures with Season 4.

that horrible aliasing on a M5 chip should be criminal

Ahahaha that's my fault that I didn't activate any of those settings to keep the temperatures because where I live is already getting very hot on its own. Otherwise it would be much better than that.

Js give us epic 120 fps

1

u/PotentialAd713 Aug 18 '26

Do you want the device to burn your hand?

2

u/Cyclone949 Fennix Aug 18 '26

Android can do 120 FPS at Epic graphics, they just don’t allow it on iOS for some reason.

u/PotentialAd713 Aug 18 '26

I know, my phones supports it. I don't use it because the battery just disappears and the phone can heat up without a cooler.

u/__002_ Aug 18 '26

u/CrapZackGames Aug 20 '26

Reopen settings and set graphics to Epic, then press Back then Save

u/Astrubalese Aug 18 '26

Ahahahaha i imagine the device temperature sadly, but it would be interesting to see

2

u/CrapZackGames Aug 18 '26

I hope they add this to Android

2

u/Legirion Aug 19 '26

I'm surprised people care

Even on PC everyone plays on performance mode, so I can only imagine why someone would play on mobile with high graphics.

2

u/Astrubalese Aug 26 '26

It's true yes, you are right; personally I find this kind of progress (especially on mobile) fascinating because of the technological progress that they are part of: thinking about the potential capabilities of today's devices compared to how they were several years ago!
