Fortnite System Requirements: Can My PC Run Fortnite?

June 17, 2018

You may have heard of a little game called Fortnite. It’s pretty popular right now and, if you’re a PC gamer, you’re probably wondering how easy it’ll be to jump in and play a few games of Duos and the like. Thankfully, all of the Fortnite system requirements are right here, so you can compare how your PC/laptop of choice compares to both the PC minimum requirements for Fortnite as well as the recommended requirements.

Fortnite System Requirements: Can my PC Run Fortnite?

While Fortnite isn’t among the heavy-hitters when it comes to PC requirements, it’s a persistent online title with 99 others players, meaning you’ll need a great deal of memory to deal with any slowdown or stuttering issues. A very basic PC or laptop might not cut it.

To check the below requirements against your own PC or laptop, you will need to head to head to ‘This PC’ on Windows 10, right hand click This PC on the sidebar and click on Properties. A new window will pop up giving you all the details for your rig. Pretty nifty, huh?

Fortnite System Requirements: Minimum Requirements

As per the official Epic site, these are the minimum requirements for the game.

Operating System: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit or Mac OSX Sierra
Processor Core: i3 2.4 Ghz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Video Card: Intel HD 4000

Fortnite System Requirements: Recommended Requirements

Minimum requirements are all well and good if you’re a casual Fortnite player, but if you aim to be on the receiving end of a few wins from time to time, and to keep up with the best of the best, you’re going to need to match up with the following Fortnite recommended requirements on PC:

Operating System: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit
Processor Core: i5 2.8 Ghz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Video Card: Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 equivalent DX11 GPU
Video Memory: 2 GB VRAM

Hey, I’m Bradley. I am legally required to tell you that my puns are terrible and I should, under no circumstances, be told otherwise. I’m that weird gaming guy you can’t really fit into one neat box: I love all of the sports games, Madden especially, but I’m equally at home polishing off a 45-hour Japanese visual novel. Also, go and play Danganronpa. Like, right now. Seriously.

For my sins, I’m a Crystal Palace and Colts fan which means I’m down in the dumps most weekends – so feel free to mock me over on Twitter.
