Fortnite is arguably the most popular Battle Royale in the world and has always boasted its multi-platform presence since its release. A big chunk of their player base comes from users of PlayStation who had this question in mind, whether they would need PlayStation Plus moving forward if they are looking to play the game on PS5 Pro.
Fortnite set the standards for cross-platform play, even though PC players always boasted a distinct advantage over consoles. However, while PlayStation was always at a disadvantage, worries loomed as to whether PlayStation would require players to get a subscription to PS Plus despite the game being free, as is the case for several of the other top multiplayer games.
While PS Plus offers a plethora of features, fortunately for PS users, it is not mandatory for Fortnite. Players who only want to enjoy Fortnite, PS Plus is not an essential item, and players can continue to enjoy the game without having to pay for it.
Now that you know PS Plus is not essential to play Fortnite, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with enough benefits. PS Plus comes in quite handy as it allows players to get special skins and several in-game items. While it is quite expensive to get, make sure the price is worth your while.
