Fortnite on PS5 Pro: Epic deploys dramatically improved, hardware-accelerated ray tracing


Fortnite on PS5 Pro gets vastly improved ray tracing and improved resolution when compared against the standard PS5.

The 120fps game mode never had cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 features to begin with, so perhaps it's inevitable that the PS5 Pro version looks practically identical, with an almost perfect 120fps read-out. Even with this settings mix, we're still getting a big upgrade over the standard PS5 version of the game, especially when it comes to the base console's lack of hardware ray tracing support. For now though, Fortnite continues to work as a great 'shop window' for Unreal Engine 5 on consoles, with an intelligently deployed upgrade that taps into the strengths of the new hardware.
