Fortnite discontinues support for Windows 7 and 8 operating systems

Epic Games has announced that they will no longer support Fortnite for players using Windows 7 or Windows 8. Fortnite has grown drastically over the years, with constant updates to keep the game bug-free and entertaining for its fans. However, the game’s improvements have made it more demanding for systems that run it.

Chapter 4 Season 2 has added a new POI named Mega City and significant map changes, requiring a lot from certain computers. Epic Games disclosed that they would have to make changes to support legacy operating systems. As a result, gamers using Windows 7 or Windows 8 will no longer be able to play Fortnite, as the game no longer supports older operating systems.

Playing Fortnite on Legacy Systems

Players can still play Fortnite on Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs through Nvidia GeForce Now, a cloud-based streaming service. While it will be a slightly different experience than native support, it is still an excellent alternative way to run the game. Nvidia GeForce Now offers various membership plans, including a free version that gamers can test before committing.

The Future of Fortnite on Last-Gen Consoles

Fortnite players are worried about the possibility of the game losing support for last-gen consoles such as Xbox One and PS4. While both consoles can still run the game, their new-gen counterparts outperform them with improved performance and incredible visual features.

In conclusion, Fortnite has ended support for Windows 7 and 8, making it unavailable to players using older operating systems. However, players can still play the game through Nvidia GeForce Now. It is unclear whether Fortnite will lose support for last-gen consoles, but as technology advances, gamers can expect new and improved ways to play their favorite games.
