Epic Games has announced that owners of the newest iPhones can now enjoy Fortnite at 60fps, while Android users are still capped at 30fps.
Fortnite update 6.31 dropped yesterday, but it seems that an important note for mobile users was missed. Epic PR guy, Nick Chester, hopped onto Twitter to spread the good word, tweeting that owners of the “iPhone XS/XS-Max/ XR” can now play at 60fps.
Unfortunately for iPhone X users, Chester added that the option isn’t available.
This is an advanced spoiler-free review for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The movie swings into theaters on Dec. 14 in the US, in the UK on Dec. 12, and in Australia on Dec. 13.
There’s no replacing a comic book legend like Peter Parker, but Sony Animation’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse makes a strong case for why more “Spider-People” is a good thing. Miles Morales’ journey from zero to hero is brought to life with jaw-dropping animation, whimsical callbacks to previous Spider-Man media, and memorable side characters from the multiverse that range from fan-favorite Spider-Gwen to the outright bizarre Spider-Ham.

The best GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the EVGA SC2 with ICX, if you can find it for a reasonable price online. With that out of the way, here’s a breakdown of the current situation with this now-legendary GPU.
Little did we know in March of 2017 when the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti launched we’d be here at the end of 2018, trying to find one in stock for MSRP. First the mining craze drove prices through the roof, then the RTX launch wasn’t what a lot of people expected, so Nvidia’s last-gen flagship is still in high demand. Also not helping; reports that there is dwindling supply and production has ceased to make way for the RTX family of GPUs. The bottom line is, if you want a GTX 1080 Ti you better get one soon. Otherwise, you’ll be left with the used GPU market as your only source, and given the mining craze has died down there’s a high probability that any card you find could have been used for it, which makes a lot of buyers nervous since they’ve likely been running for months (or longer) around the clock.
In case it wasn’t already clear, a lot of people play Fortnite. Now, Epic has shared some further specifics on just how popular the battle royale game is.
The developer confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that it’s now reached 200 million players worldwide, which is up 60 percent from the 125 million player figure that Epic disclosed back in June. That’s very solid growth. Not only that, but Epic also confirmed that the game reached a peak concurrent user record of 8.3 million players, which is up from 4.3 million concurrent players back in February.
It’s not immediately clear if the 200 million and 8.3 million concurrent player figures cover both the free Fortnite: Battle Royale and the paid Save the World mode. Whatever the case, the battle royale mode is surely much more popular.
In other Fortnite news, the game has added a new gifting feature as part of the big new 6.31 update that came out today and also added a new mode and more. You can learn more about the 6.31 update in GameSpot’s coverage here.
Netflix has announced that it will be developing a 10-episode live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop.
Originally released in Japan in 1998, Cowboy Bebop is “the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine and Radical Ed: a rag-tag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. They’ll even save the world…for the right price.”
