We also study settings used by well-known controller players such as RazorX, Scoped, NotLuc, and Reet. Their setups change over time, so this guide focuses on pro-inspired principles, not copying any one player

You are capped at 60 FPS, so the priority becomes:
Console graphics are simplified, but these settings still affect clarity.
Important: These are popular starting points, not mandatory values. Brightness and colorblind settings should always be fine-tuned based on your TV or monitor, room lighting, and personal comfort.

That’s why it’s commonly used, but it’s still personal preference.
These settings affect movement, looting, and build consistency.
Sprint by Default is used by almost all competitive controller players.
Visualize Sound Effects provides clear directional indicators for footsteps, shots, and chests — especially useful on TV speakers or basic headsets.

Turning vibration off is a standard competitive recommendation, though a small minority of players still prefer light vibration.
This gives smooth turning without sacrificing precision.
Lower ADS helps with mid-range tracking and shotgun accuracy. Some players prefer slightly higher values.
This sits in the commonly used competitive range (roughly 1.8×–2.3×).
Boosts are generally avoided in competitive play because they add unpredictability, though a minority of players experiment with small values.

This mirrors common competitive values used by high-level PS players:
This setup offers:
PlayStation players have massive potential in Fortnite, especially on PS5 with 120 FPS enabled. With the right settings, you can achieve smoother aim, faster edits, and more consistent fights without changing hardware.
