Fortnite gyro controls, 'Fortnite' patch adds gyroscope and stick aiming options

Fortnite gyro controls -  Epic Games has released the latest patch, giving players more ways to control their character as they chase a crown of victory. The game now supports gyroscope and joystick controls on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Android, and PC (but not Xbox, unfortunately). Although gyro controls were already available on Switch and Android, Epic says the latest iteration is more robust.

The studio worked with input specialist Julian "Jibb" Smart on the updated gyroscope options. When the setting is enabled, you will be able to move the camera by physically moving the controller. should make Fortnite more accessible, while some players may find that the gyroscope option improves their aim (they can, for example, use the right stick for most camera movements and make finer adjustments with the gyroscope aim) .

The function works in conjunction with the scroll bar control. That setting, which is only available when the gyroscope is enabled, will move the camera in a certain direction when you point the right stick in that direction. You'll need to use the gyroscope controls to aim up or down, as pulling the stick back will rotate the camera 180 degrees to look back.

Players will find both options in the Touch & Motion tab of settings. They will be able to, for example, enable gyroscope functions only while aiming and adjust factors such as sensitivity.

Patch 19.30 brings a few other changes. All players will now load directly into the Battle Royale lobby when starting the game. They will need to go to the Discover screen to access Save the World and Creative modes. It's a smart move, as Battle Royale is the reason most people come to Fortnite, and Epic knows where to put butter on their bread. Elsewhere, Armored Walls will have disappeared from Supply Drops in competitive playlists.

The patch isn't the only Fortnite news on the horizon this week. Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer's will be the day before it opens in North America.
