Fortnite controller settings have drastically evolved over the last few years. Back when the game was released, controller players could choose button presets and simple settings like sensitivity. However, the popularity of the game on consoles has contributed to massive improvements for controller settings.
While there is no doubt that PC players have the advantage when it comes to building, having proper Fortnite controller settings lets console players catch up and be competitive. This is why it’s important to set your settings right and get used to them. In this article, you can find optimal controller settings for Season 8 for Fortnite.
Best Fortnite controller settings for the current season
To use these settings, you will have to open the game settings and head over to controller options. You should take a screenshot of your current settings in case you want to revert to them later on. However, after some practice, your new settings should work out well.

Practice makes perfect
New Fortnite controller settings will take a while to get used to, which is why you should practice a lot. Fortunately, Fortnite’s Creative mode is perfect for practice. After you get used to the new sensitivity, you should test your new settings out in Team Rumble before jumping into a solo match.
In case you cannot get used to the new settings, you can refer to your screenshots to revert your old settings.
