Starting with this new season, the official requirements to play Fortnite on PC will require having either Windows 10 or 11. These will be the only officially supported operating systems. While this means you can still run Fortnite, future patches will be explicitly aimed at Windows 10/11, so there is a likelihood they won’t work for Windows 7/8.
Epic Games give more reasoning for this change, writing:
Epic Games further add that there is another option that will let you play the game regardless of your system, and that is through NVIDIA GeForce NOW. This operates as a streaming service, and they already have a place on the official Fortnite site to walk you through using it.
This means that while you may experience problems trying to play Fortnite natively, there is an option to play it still as it is meant to be played.
In better Fortnite news, it seems there might be a Flamethrower weapon in players’ futures.
