There has been a lot of talk about adding a FOV slider in Fortnite. FOV stands for Field Of View. Competitive players for a long time played on stretched resolutions to gain the advantage of a wider FOV. However, Fortnite later decided to ban stretched resolutions to “level the playing field” amongst players.
The competitive community reacted with outrage and demanded that EPIC Games added a FOV slider to the in-game settings like many other games have it.
EPIC responded that the default FOV of 80, was decided on as it gave the best balance and reduced motion sickness.
However, most of the competitive community later debunked this and called out EPIC for their explanation.
It seems that the controversy around this topic has died out a little recently, but we are still hopeful that EPIC will someday reconsider their opinion on the FOV slider.
Here at ProSettings, we have made a FOV slider concept as how it could be implemented into the game.
The FOV range could go from 75-110, 80 being the default FOV as currently in the game.
What do you think? Should EPIC Games add a FOV slider to the Fortnite settings?
if I would love to put a fov slider in the fortnite configuration

Not having a reasonable FOV literally impacts my ability to play the game, with migraines and vision loss resulting from extended play sessions on low FOV — so yeah, I’d love it if they implemented that. I think the main reason they don’t is because unreal engine doesn’t support it by default, requiring coding or plugins to implement it – and since a LOT of UE games lack the feature, I presume it’s difficult for less talented developers to implement. I expected more from the company that created the engine, but I guess they’re not actually the same devs behind it.
