Fortnite Season 10 will not only bring cosmetic changes to the game world, but it will also change the system requirements for the PC version of the game. When the update becomes available later this year, Epic has announced that those playing on PC will need a DirectX 11 compatible graphics card to continue playing. In the official announcement, Epic says that while a DirectX 11 compatible graphics card has always been a system requirement, support has been extended to gamers using older models. Now the requirements are tightening.
Raise the standards
The reason, Epic says, is that this change "allows us to focus our development and testing efforts to further optimize the Fortnite experience for all players." DirectX 11 has been available for many years and is supported by a wide range of graphics cards. Therefore, this announcement is unlikely to leave a large number of players out in the cold during Season 10. However, Fortnite is still a popular game with a large player base, so it is not impossible that some players are affected. . If you're not too sure about the state of your graphics card, it may be worth checking ahead of Season 10, if you want to prepare for releases.
