Fortnite is available on nearly every gaming platform. In addition to being available for the PC, it is also available on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Mac OS. While console gamers don’t worry about fortnite system requirements, they are something that PC Gamers often need to check prior to installing a game. Luckily for PC gamers, Fortnite is not one of those games that’s going to require high end hardware in order to run smoothly. Even the Fortnite recommended system requirements are fairly moderate. The minimum CPU requirements call for an i3 2.4 Ghz at a minimum which are fairly low end CPUs. RAM and Graphics cards are also very reasonable with minimum of 4GB of RAM and an Intel HD 4000 GPU or better.
