 [![Epic’s Fortnite; Gyro/Motion controls added](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/epics-fortnite-gyro-motion-controls-added.jpeg "Epic’s Fortnite; Gyro/Motion controls added")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/epics-fortnite-gyro-motion-controls-added.jpeg)Nintendo fans have been very pleased that Fortnite is now on the system but some were bemoaning the lack of gyro and motion control aiming that can be found in Splatoon 2.

## [](#epic-has-listened)Epic has listened

There’s cause to celebrate though as Epic Games have added gyro/motion controls to the game in the latest update. Splatoon 2 fans should now feel right at home in Fortnite as well.

Gyro/motion controls have been added to the Nintendo Switch.
Adjust these options in the Settings menu.

Are you happy with the addition of these controls for Fortnite?
