Fortnite Is Getting Improved Graphics and Visuals on PC

Fortnite has been out on PC and consoles for a while now, but the PC version is about to get a pretty major upgrade. As announced on the Epic Games site today, the PC version will be getting upgraded visuals and graphics, which should come as a nice surprise for players who have powerful enough rigs to handle it.
