Fortnite is one of the most popular games of the decade thanks to a robust game engine, a stream of new content and updates, and hardware requirements that ensure that most gamers can play the title at a reasonable frame rate irrespective of the underlying hardware. Powered by an updated version of Epic's Unreal Engine 5, the title scales well with higher-tiered hardware and is played casually and competitively by gamers on a slew of platforms including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox Series consoles as well as PCs. This makes it a challenge, but one that is quite rewarding to nail the exact balance between price and performance on a more open platform like the PC to get the desired performance without overspending.
