Fortnite: Battle Royale Dev Tracker

(2020) Enabling 120 FPS mode locked my game and PS5 into 1440p (even after disabling it)

Original Post

Title may be misleading. Let me explain I downloaded the update and enabled 120 FPS mode on my PS5. I didn’t like the look of the 1440p so I turned 120 mode OFF. Well now every time I load up the game or go to the menu while it’s loaded, the console is displaying in 1440p. I tried everything. Switched the display mode to resolution, nothing. Reinstalled, nothing. Hope there’s a hot fix. Only play on PS5 for the graphical updates but I guess I’ll go back to Xbox now.

Edit: also when closing the game, the console returns to 4K resolution. It only bumps down when fortnite is open

Hey /u/J_delucs we're aware of an issue that is preventing 4K resolution from displaying on PS5s and are tracking it here: https://trello.com/c/a42W1cFx/1568-playstation-5-resolution-output-at-1080p-instead-of-4k

We'll update this Trello card when we have a fix. Thanks for your callout!
