Which platform is Fortnite better on PC or Console as Chapter 3 Season 1?

Fortnite is available on almost every platform, including PC and current and last generation consoles. While the game runs smoothly on every platform, thanks to the developers' excellent game optimization, the community is always looking for ways to squeeze every ounce of performance from their gaming systems. Having the correct settings can significantly boost the graphics and smoother and better gameplay.

The winner is PC due to the sheer amount of raw computing power advantage over consoles. While the average player won't notice any difference in performance or graphics on a day-to-day basis, PC gamers have a lot going for them. They can increase their monitor's frame rate to avoid lag since the GPU might send frames faster.

If you have a good PC, chances are you will end up getting a lot more FPS than a PS4/ PS5 or Xbox One / Series X. Usually, the limit of FPS on a console is 60 FPS (PS 5 and Xbox Series X offer a maximum FPS of 120), whereas PC players can bump the FPS to 300 FPS. This is why most pro players play on PC rather than on consoles.

PC players also have the advantage of mouse and keyboard controls. While these don't affect the game's performance, the mouse lets players aim better and more easily. So, all in all, Chapter 3 Season 1, runs better on PC.
