The interesting bit comes later though, where Epic says it plans to add new features to Fortnite that will only be available to players on DirectX 12.
'This is because DX12 delivers better CPU performance and allows for the distribution of rendering jobs across multiple cores,' explained the studio. This is coming on the heels of the Fortnite Chapter 2 update, which brought in a wealth of new features to the title, including a new map.Įpic says in its announcement blog post that when using DirectX 12, Fortnite could perform at a 'higher and steadier frame rate' on high-end graphics cards. Epic Games today announced that its behemoth battle royale title Fortnite is receiving DirectX 12 support in the upcoming 11.20 update, offering another option over DirectX 11.
