Fortnite PS4 vs Xbox One vs Switch vs PC vs iPhone!

**Playing Fortnite on Every System**

I've got a challenge for you all today. We're going to play Fortnite on every single system that it's available on. Yes, you heard that right - every system.

**The iPhone SE Edition**

So, as we all know, the iPhone SE is not exactly known for its gaming capabilities. However, with Fortnite, things get a little better. I mean, it's still not going to blow your mind in terms of graphics or performance, but it's definitely playable.

But let me tell you, playing Fortnite on an iPhone SE is like trying to play a 4K resolution game on a potato. It just doesn't cut it. The graphics are subpar, the performance is lackluster, and don't even get me started on the controls. But hey, at least you can play it on the go, right?

**The Switch Edition**

Next up, we have the Nintendo Switch edition of Fortnite. Now, this one's a little more interesting, as it's actually a pretty capable console for its time. And with Fortnite, you get a fairly smooth experience, save for the fact that it's limited to 30 frames per second.

But hey, at least the Joy Cons make for some decent controls, right? And don't even get me started on playing in portable mode - it's like having your own personal gaming theater. Well, not quite, but you get the idea.

**The Xbox One and PS4 Editions**

Now we're getting to the good stuff - the console editions of Fortnite. Ah, yes! These ones are actually capable of running the game at a decent framerate, with smooth graphics and all that jazz. You know, it's like playing on a real gaming PC or something.

But seriously, these consoles can handle the game just fine, even if they're not exactly the most powerful systems out there. And hey, who needs 4K resolution when you've got 60 frames per second, right?

**The High-End PC Edition**

And finally, we have the high-end PC edition of Fortnite. Now this one's a real beast - it's like playing on a dedicated gaming rig or something (which is exactly what I built to do streaming on). With a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU and 16 gigs of RAM, this thing can handle even the most demanding games with ease.

And don't even get me started on the graphics - we're talking near 4K resolution here. It's like looking at a work of art or something (which is exactly what Fortnite is to me).

**The Verdict**

So there you have it, folks - Fortnite on every single system that it's available on. And let me tell you, it's been quite the journey.

From the subpar iPhone SE edition to the high-end PC edition, each one has its own unique charm and quirks. But hey, at least we can all agree that Fortnite is an amazing game no matter where we play it, right?

And who knows - maybe someday we'll even get an Android version that'll blow our minds (or not).

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey, guys, this is Austin.Fortnite is one of the most popular gamesin the world right now,and one of the thingsthat makes it specialis that it will run on almost anything.So unlike some of our previous videos,where we restricted ourselvesto a mere single laptop,today we're going to be playing Fortniteon every single platform that it supports.So you might remember this,the $200 HP Stream fromour first Fortnite video.This is not exactly the greatestexperience in the world.But it is about as low-end of a PCas you can possibly play Fortnite on.With a cool 360p resolutionand all settings set to low,our avatar dude is lookinga little bit pixelated.But importantly, we are going to berecording over HDMI so we don't interferewith any of theperformance of this laptop.Oh boy, all right.We are in the game, and that is a smootheight frames per second.(laughs) Wow, this is really, really bad.Look at the textures.The filtering is really, really on point.I mean, that's a big blob.That's a mildly house-shaped blob.Bunch of tree blobs.We've got a cliff blob.Oh, we've got some reallynice-looking tree blobs up here.Wow, that's actually, oh wow, wait, what?What?Okay.That's a really unique-looking tree blob.You know what, let's just move onto something that's a little bit betterthan a $200 basic Windows computer.Now, this might sound like a bad idea,but Fortnite will also run on the Mac.So here I have a maxed out2016 15-inch Macbook Pro.Now, it does have dedicated graphics,so you shouldn't expectanything too crazy.It will run the game.Oh, that's not good.The game just crashed on the Mac.Okay.Yep, okay.That's not working.So the Mac port of Fortniteis not exactly great,as you can see by my face right now.If that's too low-end for you,well, you can step all the way up tothe iPhone SE, which, amazingly enough,is actually still supported by Fortniteeven though it's hardwarefrom the iPhone 6S.One of the first things you'll noticeis that while the UI is fineon something like a laptop,or even something like a PS4,when you shrink it downto a four inch display,it is very, very hard to see.As you can imagine, Fortniterunning on the iPhone SEis running on its lowest settings.However, it actually isnot going to be unplayable.So one of the things youdo have to keep in mindis that while the screenitself is going to besub-720p, it's notgoing to be the sharpestsort of presentation in the world,but I've got to say, onsuch a small display,it actually doesn't look bad.A lot better than most other mobile games.Frame rate wise, it's not going to bethe smoothest thing in the world,but we do look like we'rekeeping a relativelyclose lock to 30 frames.I don't have an easy way of actuallycounting the frame rateon the mobile side.But I mean, not bad.Even though the SE is a couple years old,it still does have areasonably decent hardware.So when Fortnite comes out on Androidin the next few months, I'm really curiousto see what kind of hardwarethat it's going to support.But as far as I can say for the SE,this is totally playable.A little bit on the lower side,but yeah, not bad.Step up to the iPhone Xand you're going to begetting a surprising jump in quality.So if I actually jump into the menu here,just like on the PC, we have a bunch ofdifferent quality settings,and the iPhone X will default to epic.Now, the iPhone X does havethat wider aspect ratio,and while it looks a little bit weirdwhen we're recording, when you're actuallyplaying it on the phone, itdoes fully take up the screen,and it does give you a bitof a wider field of view.The difference in qualitysettings is also pretty apparent.Now, this is not gonna berunning at the full resolution.It looks like it's somethinga little bit closerto maybe 900p or even 1080p, if I had to take a guess.But the quality settings,I mean you can seethe texture filtering, the view distance.Everything looks to be a lot smoother.Although, frame rate still seems to bepretty close to 30 frames per second.Now, of course, an issuewith both iPhone versionsis that you do have touse the touch controls.Now, personally, I definitely prefersomething like the Switch where we canactually use the physical controls,but, especially with theAndroid version coming soon,there will be somecontroller support added.For now, though, thisactually isn't going to betoo bad as far as a first-personor a third-person shooter goes.The right side is whatyou use to scroll around,the left side is what you use to walk,and it's easy enough to justtap on things to select them.But, controllers are always better.Now sure, this is notgoing to look as goodas some of the other devices that we'll betrying here in the video,but for a lot of the game,I mean look at this, we've got like nicereflections on the water,we've got decent draw distance,the lighting really doesn'tseem to be hugely impacted.I'm not seeing any likegod rays or anything here,but it's not going to be that far offfrom something like a console,or at least in theory.Next up we've got the PS4.You know, as long as you haven't triedto log in on your Switch or anything.So this is going to besupported, of course,on the PS4 Pro as well, but for this videoactually I want to take a lookat how it's going to perform on thestandard original launch PS4.One of the biggest changeswith the PS4 editionover what we've done so faris that we actually get asmooth 60 frames per second.Now, it's not going to be a complete lock,but this is so muchsmoother and especiallywhen it comes to the responsiveness,it's going to be a lot more competitivethan any of the other systems that we'vetaken a look at so far.So the PS4 does target 1080p,although typically speaking,when you're running at60 frames per second,it's running at aslightly lower resolution.But we do get the upgraded detail,and most importantly, weget that smooth frame rate.I can't tell you how much better that is,just it's so much better.Actually don't know thisoff the top of my head,but I would guess that the PS4is probably the most common waythat people are playing Fortnite.So if you want, of course,you can run it on a PS4 Pro,and we're gonna take a look at some ofthe higher-end console stuff in a minute,but the important thing to know is thateven on a completely stock base PS4that came out, you know, in 2013,we are getting a nice smooth frame rate,and we're going to be getting those, what?For the ultimate console experience,you're going to want topick up an Xbox One X.Not only does this have a lot more powerwith a full six teraflop GPU,but that power is going to enable usto play at basically a locked4K 60 frames per second.I mean, not quite locked,but it's going to bea big jump over the PS4, as well as the,especially the base Xbox One.This is the way to play Fortnite.So not only are we going to begetting that nice smooth frame rate,but we're also going to begetting the 4K resolutionas well as the upgraded settings.So stuff like drawdistance, texture filtering,we're going to be getting someslightly higher res textures.Yeah, this looks pretty nice.And on top of that, we're of coursestill playing on a console,so it's not quite the maximum experiencethat we can have with Fortnite just yet.Next up, we have thenewest version of Fortnite,the Switch edition,So as a console, as you would expect,is going to be a little bit more powerfulthan the iPhone SE.We are going to be gettingthe full experience here,save for the Save the World mode.But does anyone actually play that?So one of the biggestissues with the Switch portactually is Sony's fault.So if you've ever loggedin to your Epic accounton a PS4, you're actually locked outof logging in on the Switch,which caused a lot ofpeople a lot of hassle,although thankfully I never played on PS4with my main account, so we're good.Ah yes, the joy of physical controls.Don't get me wrong, theiPhone version is fine,and for touch screen controls,it's really not that bad,but playing with Joy Consreally does feel a lot better.And it actually is not reallygoing to be a huge differenceregardless of whether you're going to beplaying in docked mode, like we are here,or in portable mode on the Switch.You're still going to begetting the same controls,just a little bit of agraphical difference,and, well, a much, much bigger screen.So the Switch does operate with adynamic resolution up to 900p...As I got shot in the back.So if it had a higher resolution,I totally would not have died there,because I need the extra pixels to seepeople behind me.(laughs)One of the downsides ofplaying on the Switchis that unlike on the Xbox One and PS4,we are going to be limitedto 30 frames per second.Now, don't get me wrong, it actually doesa reasonably decent job of holding to that.But when you're playing againstother people on consoleswho are running at double the frame rate,you're just not going to haveas responsive of gameplayand it's not going to quite hold up.Last but certainly notleast, we have a high-end PC.So this is actually nota dedicated gaming PC,this is what we built to do streaming on,but we've still got somesolid hardware inside,including the second gen Ryzen 7 2700X,running at about four gigahertz,as well as 16 gigs of RAMand a GTX, tevin, 70...Tevin, 70?To show you just how faryou can push Fortnite,we're not even actually running iton maxed out settings here.So we've got it set to 1800pand on high settings.So in theory, if we hadsomething like a Titanwe could push it even farther.But importantly, we'regetting a near 4K res,and we're still able to stayabove 60 frames per secondfor the most part.Once you get to somethinglike the Xbox One X,going up to PC actuallydoesn't make a huge difference.Really where you're seeingthe major advantagesare in stuff like high frame rate support,if you want to play on ahigh refresh rate monitor.And of course you get fullmouse and keyboard support.But the visual quality,I mean, look at this.This is just obscenely nice-looking.Doesn't hurt that Fortniteis a very colorful,very nice-looking, vibrant game.Yeah, that's nice and smooth.So with a full eight core Ryzen CPU,which honestly is slightoverkill for this game,but the GTX 1070 doesmake a huge difference.Of course, if you want to go higher,you can go higher, but as faras a near 4K experience goes,I'm not really gonna complain here.All right, I will say it's not too badplaying Fortnite on touchscreen,and it's a lot betteron an actual controller.When you get a mouse and keyboard,especially with a nice, smooth setupthat you're able to get atleast 60 frames per second on,Fortnite feels so much better.It's crazy at how this video startedand where we are now.So that, my friends, is Fortniteon every single system thatyou can play it on right now.So everything from a$200 potato-quality PC,all the way up to something that actuallycan play it at basically 4K maxed out.But of course the real question ishow is the Android version gonna look?Oh boy, I can't wait to play that.
