Accessibility Options available in Fortnite

Fortnite has a variety of accessibility features, including controller support and customization, visual sound effects, and customizable subtitles. The game also has a Color Blind mode, where players may adjust the visual settings to their liking.

Visualize Sound Effects has been a favorite among players since it displays detailed visual cues of all in-game objects, enemies, and events, making it easier to keep track of what’s going on and where you need to go.

These are accessible via the Settings menu, where players may make adjustments to their liking.
