What are the best settings to use for Fortnite on PS5?
PS5 system settings
Aside from the in-game settings, PlayStation 5 owners’ first step in boosting the game’s performance should be running it at 120 frames-per-second. This is possible by first going to the Settings menu, scrolling down to “Save Data and Game/App Settings,” and diving into its Game Presets option. From there, you must select the option’s Performance Mode and then head back to Fortnite’s Video settings tab and turn on “120FPS mode.”
Video settings
Video settings can lend players a slight, but noticeable advantage, as its option can clear up the battlefield and make opponents more visible. Although this does consist of boosting the brightness, you will also want to make sure these settings are comfortable for your eyes. You can find all of the recommended Video setting changes below.
- Brightness: 120%
- Color Blind Mode: Off, unless needed
- Motion Blur: Off

Controller Options
If you are debating which controller preset to use, we recommend mastering the Builder Pro controls before anything else, as its scheme resembles that of other battle royales and shooters. Additionally, the scheme offers players one-click options when needing to switch to another weapon, material, or when going into Edit Mode. For additional recommendations pertaining to the Controller Options menu, you can discover more below.
- Controller Auto-Run: On
- Build Immediately: On

- Sensitivity Options: 5
- If you are new to Fortnite, its default Look and Aim Sensitivity options (5) are certainly fast enough to keep up with seasoned players, while also being easy to manage. However, it is advised both sensitivities be tuned to a 7 for those who have played their fair share of the game, as it offers a perfect middle that provides speed and precision.
