Controllers

You have some controller options while playing on the Switch. You can choose between two types of controllers.

Joy Cons

These controllers come with the Switch. Using these may feel different at first because of the button placement, and small thumbsticks. Enabling motion controls may help you use the Joy Cons with more ease!

Pro Controller

Do you feel that playing Fortnite with Joy Cons just isn't for you? Using a Pro Controller may be able to help you! Its button placement, and bigger thumbsticks give a familiar feel to other console controllers.

Motion Controls

The Switch has an option to enable Motion Controls for both the Joy Cons, and Pro Controllers. By enabling this, you will be able to aim by tilting your controllers!

Aiming With The Switch

Other than having Motion Controls, another option that you can toggle on the Switch is Aim Assist. Enable this if you are still struggling with your aim.
