When Chapter 2 Season 7 arrives next week, the visuals of Fortnite on PC will become better than ever! While running “Epic” graphics settings on a machine that meets system requirements, players will be able to enjoy new and enhanced effects plus improved post processing features and shadow quality in Fortnite.
