There’s no denying that Fortnite has earned its spot among the best games of all time. Whether you like the battle royale or not, or maybe prefer something like Apex Legends, the staying power this game has is incredible. The only other game that can be compared to it is Minecraft.

Let’s jump out of the battle bus and see what answers we can find regarding whether Fortnite is cross-platform.

Initially, the next-generation console was rumored to launch in 2027 (later in the year), but the ongoing memory crisis seems to have pushed the launch further, not just by months, but by years. 

As of April 2026, enthusiasts are more concerned about when the PlayStation 6 will actually arrive and how much more it will cost than the already-hiked PlayStation 5 prices, than how powerful it will be or what features it will offer. Even so, there are plenty of rumors surrounding all the aspects, including the latest leaks about a three-tier hardware strategy that includes the PS6 Lite, the PS6 Standard or Pro, and a dedicated handheld.
