Changes for Fortnite: Battle Royale Players on Nintendo Switch
Fortnite: Battle Royale players on Nintendo Switch will be pleased to hear about the changes that have been introduced after the recent 8.10 update.
In the patch notes, the community discovered that Nintendo Switch players will no longer be matched up against Xbox One and PS4 users. Instead, they will now face off against mobile and tablet users.
It is important to note that Epic Games has not disabled cross play. Nintendo Switch players can still play with Xbox One and PS4 players through cross-party play. However, they will not be matched with other console players in matchmaking.
While this change may disappoint solo players who enjoyed competing against Xbox One and PS4 gamers, Nintendo Switch owners now have a better chance of achieving a victory royale by going up against mobile users. These mobile users rely on touch controls instead of physical buttons, giving Nintendo Switch players an advantage.
