In an announcement that comes as a surpise to nobody, Fortnite has been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch during the Nintendo Direct at E3. What's more, the game is available to download and play right now. All you have to do is head over to the eshop to download the game and start playing.
huge missed opportunity here, mainly due to Sony’s arrogance. The fact that I have to create a new EPIC account and can’t carry progress across is just off-putting
I only saw the Epic account issue now. Such a dick move’s on Sony’s part, holding people’s Epic accounts hostage. Not cool, Sony, not cool.
Luckily I got logged into Fortnite on the Switch, and played a few rounds. I was surprisingly not bad, but I guess I was paired with other inexperienced players new to the game on Switch. The game plays really well. I really enjoyed my time with the game so far. Even made a few top 10 finishes as well.
But this whole Sony thing is casting a giant big black cloud over this launch. Nintendo already said that within 24 hours, Fortnite was downloaded more than 2 million times for Switch. There are a huge number of players that will want to play it on the Switch, and Sony needs to react fast on this, or else it can blow up big time for them.
