Summary
Save the World could be coming to Nintendo consoles at last, according to information on theFortnitegame code for Switch 2 Joy-Con features.Fortnitebecame available on the Nintendo Switch in June 2018, nearly seven years ago. It was not a seamless addition, as there were a few downsides, especially at the start of this journey. Firstly, many players had already played on a PlayStation console and were not able to use their accounts on the Switch due to restrictions; cross-progression and cross-play were completely disabled. This meant that some gamers had to make brand-new accounts if they wanted to playFortniteon the Switch or Xbox.
Eventually, this issue was resolved, as Sony decided to lift these restrictions and allow players to use their accounts on other systems.Fortniteeven added account merging in 2019, so those who made separate accounts could put their V-Bucks and cosmetics in the same place instead of having to give up one of them. Another issue that is evident from day one and has not yet been resolved is the lack of Save the World on the Nintendo Switch. Over the years, rumors appeared here and there, suggesting that Save the World would finally come to Switch, but it never actually happened.

Joy-Con Mouse Control Code Mentions Fortnite Save the World on Switch 2
Some fans believe that the mention ofSave the World game modein the code makes it clear that the game mode will be playable on the Switch 2. On the other hand, it is strange that this would be the only mode without mouse features; mouse controls are available on every platform with mouse and keyboard support, so it wouldn’t make sense for that not to be the case here.
It is unknown why Epic Games has never added Save the World to the original Switch console. Some players believe that this is due to the game mode’s lack of optimization.Epic put Save the World on the back burner in the past few years; it has received very little developer support, so this could be why there hasn’t been that much effort to bring it to platforms that aren’t as powerful, such as the Switch and mobile.
