How to Get Stretched Resolution on Fortnite

Ever wondered how to tweak your Fortnite game to get that stretched resolution all the cool streamers are using? Well, you’re in the right spot to find out!

Getting a stretched resolution in Fortnite means adjusting your game’s display to make everything look wider. Why do some players do this? It can make targets appear larger and easier to hit, giving you a tiny edge in your gameplay.

Quick Steps to Stretched Resolution

First things first: Fortnite doesn’t allow stretched resolutions directly in its settings anymore. But don’t worry! With a little tweaking outside the game, you can still get that stretched look.

Step one: Go to your desktop, right-click, and select ‘Display Settings.’ There, you’ll adjust your screen’s resolution to something less than its native display, like changing from 1920×1080 to 1440×1080. This step makes everything on your screen look wider.

Adjusting Game Files for That Stretched Look

Next, you’ll need to tinker with some game files. Navigate to the Fortnite game files (usually in the Epic Games folder), find the ‘Config’ folder, and open ‘WindowsClient’ > ‘GameUserSettings.ini’ in a text editor. Here, you’ll manually change the resolution to match what you set on your desktop.

Remember to set your game to Fullscreen mode, not Windowed Fullscreen. This helps the changes take effect properly. After saving the adjustments, launch Fortnite, and voila! You should see the stretched resolution in action.
