Fortnite is getting a visual boost on PC very soon. As part of the upcoming Chapter 2: Season 7, which will launch on June 8th, the PC version of the game is getting a new “epic” graphical setting.
Epic says it will include “new and enhanced effects plus improved post-processing features and shadow quality.” Among other changes, it sounds like many of the great visual enhancements that came to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game are coming to PC, including “more advanced explosion effects.” In other words, after you update, try to find a rocket launcher to play with.
As part of the update, the system requirements for Fortnite are now getting a tweak. Basically, there are now three ranges: epic, recommended, and minimum. Here’s what you’ll need:
Epic specs
- Nvidia GTX 1080, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, or equivalent GPU
- 4GB VRAM or higher
- Intel Core i7-8700, AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, or equivalent

Season 7 kicks off on June 8th — and it looks like it’ll add an extraterrestrial element to the game.
