Fortnite for iOS has just gone through yet another hefty update, Epic Games announcing improved compatibility with joysticks as well as 120 frames per second gameplay available on compatible devices for the first time with the new version.
Joysticks were already compatible with Fortnite on iOS, which includes the Xbox One S and PlayStation 4 controllers, but players can now also fully use the thumbstick clickable buttons (L3 and R3). In addition to the new feature, the update brings something that certainly improves the gameplay for iPad users.
The new version of Fortnite now takes full advantage of Apple’s 12X Bionic chip, which is found on the third-generation iPad Pro, to boost frame rates from 60 frames per second to 120 frames per second, thanks to the ProMotion technology powering the device’s display. This helps make the animations extremely smooth thanks to the doubled frame rate.
Fortnite now takes full advantage of Apple’s A12X Bionic chip on the 3rd generation iPad Pro to increase graphics frame rates. Previously restricted to 60 FPS, users with the latest iPad Pro models can now play the game with up to 120 FPS, thanks to the ProMotion technology behind the display. That makes the animations extremely smooth, as the images are shown with twice the regular rate.
Fortnite is available for free on the App Store, and is compatible with any device running iOS 11.0 or later with an A8X chip or later.
Epic Games has published a list with everything else that has changed in the latest version of the game, which is linked below.
