(Rumor) Fortnite is Coming to Switch with Exclusive Content

I mean, it will eventually come to the Switch too, right?
That premise should be a given at this point, having the game already on smartphones.
Exclusive things for the non-battle-royale part is not hard to imagine either, so it's probably a guess the "leaker" is betting on, same goes for the local co op for 'Save the World.'

On Switch? With the Save the World mode? I'll actually buy it. Not F2P but straight up spend money on it.
It's because Nintendo is launching paid online. They want to have many online games.
I don't see why it wouldn't. I would bet that's the big third party announcement at E3.
Epic has stated before they wanted to bring Fornite to everything
It would run fine on the Switch with a few cutbacks probably to resolution the usual
It already runs on tablets
I think it's a matter of when not if. I'd be shocked if it doesn't make it to Switch by the end of the year.
I disagree, it is big. Yes it's on every other system, but it's also the only portable console it's going to be on (and a lot of people want physical controls for a portable rendition versus the cell phone version). I think people underestimate how much of a selling point is on portable.
It also helps that the game is free to play, so it isn't actually competing against itself on other platforms.
so the leaker got stuff wrong, we got it. but anything he got right in the past that's impossible to guess?
Lame source but I would guess most of this would be true anyways.
Gyro aiming or I might not even download.

There aren't any F2P games on Switch right? Just Nintendo's free to start stuff?

Why are we even making threads for "leakers" that have zero credibility to them? It's simple, guys. If there's literally nothing that supports their claims just do not entertain them.
There are also plenty of threads where this can be discussed, if anything. People bringing up random twitter accounts in the Pokémon Rumors thread? Annoying, but ok. But this is just unnecessary and feeds into the current leaker culture.

Wouldn't progress transfer anyway? It's all on your Epic account I thought.
But they want to shelf space at retailers. Can't do that with a free to play download only title
I can see it being the rocket league equivalent announcement.
But I imagine the source doesn't actually have the knowledge and it'll be a lucky guess

It hasn't charted on any physical charts as far as I know since release, which was a code anyhow. So maybe?
I strongly suspect Iron Galaxy is doing the port. On a recent episode of the Game Informer podcast they had an interview with Adam Boyes (Iron Galaxy CEO), and he sort of slipped it out that they were working on a Fortnite related project. They have done previous port work on the Switch already, so.......
I'm sure it'll come but at this point I can't help but feel that it's already too late. The game is huge right now and has been for a few months. It's on everything already, the Switch is the only gaming device left behind. It'll come, be quite successful because at the end of the day it's still Fortnite; but the more you wait, the bigger the waste.
It's basically Minecraft all over again.

The PVE mode isn't. It was supposed to go F2P sometime in 2018, but since it hasn't I'm starting to wonder if it ever will.
I could see them selling a physical Switch version that has the PVE mode and BR and having the BR F2P be download only (as they'll want to be able to sell MTs to people who don't care about the PVE mode.
I think this could be big for Switch. Fortnight is huge among kids and teens, being able to play on the go with a controller instead of the touch controls of the mobile port could be a big selling point. It's really the only big AAA type multiplat right now that I could see a port moving Switch hardware. Things like GTA and Diablo 3 would be super nice additions to the library for Switch owners, but I don't see that moving hardware. Fortnite in the cafeteria at lunchtime, recess, breaks at work, between college classes etc. could be really big.
Does Switch even have F2P anything? It would explain why Fortnite is not on Switch and may have to sell BR.
Would I play it? Probably not. I will stick to playing it on my X and Pro. I might play it a few times to see the exclusive stuff if that is a real thing.
I hate the mobile version because I prefer some sort of controller, pop out a Pro controller on Switch, you're golden. I'll play this.
I prefer PUBG far more but I'd definitely play Fortnite on the go for the hell of it.
