However, despite that being the case, the community can’t help but share their concerns regarding one thing toward its release.

Players already worried Fortnite on Switch is on its last legs

For a while now, the experience playing on the current Switch hasn’t exactly been so smooth – at least compared to other platforms. Add to the fact that the game regularly receives massive updates; many have to resort to using an SD card to extend their memory.

In a post on X, one user warned that “players have a year to get the Switch 2” solely because they believe “there is no way” the current handheld is making it to Chapter 7. 

A different user took it to the extreme, saying, “Chapter 7? I say it gives out right at Season 4.”

One user also said: “Hopped back on for Miku and… yeah, I need that upgrade yesterday lmao,” while another mentioned they got a better PC and Xbox because playing on the handheld was already “utter hell” due to overheating.

Considering that the game keeps growing as time goes on, many of these players are already prepared for the worst. Many are hoping the game will still be properly supported once the new handheld is out.
