OnePlus has also arranged to make the Epic Games App (and thus Fortnite) easy to install through its Game Space portal, although that’s exclusive to India for now.

This is a marketing stunt in some ways. Other phones with fast-refresh displays, like the Galaxy S20 family, are technically capable of pushing past 60FPS when they share similar (and in some cases identical) processor and RAM configurations. However, this still gives you an advantage over PS4 Pro and Xbox One X players, who can’t go past 60FPS no matter what their hardware is capable of. And remember, many people in the world have to play games on their phone if they play games at all. This gives them the best possible experience with Fortnite if they can’t justify buying a sufficiently powerful gaming PC.

Fortnite on #OnePlus8Series: 90 FPS

Yes, you got that right. We’ve partnered with @FortniteGame to make 90 FPS available. A new level of smoothness in mobile gaming, and there’s no other smartphone that does it. Enjoy. #OnePlusBrings90FPS https://t.co/YUT1MSyLos pic.twitter.com/NfizrxYnHz
