The Switch version of Fortnite will play exactly the same as the other versions where players will be able to duke it out with other players in online play. However there is also the option of local wireless play if you just want to play against your friends.
According to Nintendo’s announcement, Fortnite for the Switch will also support cross-play and cross-progression. This means that you get to play with other Fortnite players from other platforms, and if you link your Epic account to the game, it means that you’ll be able to switch different platforms but maintain the progress that you’ve built up so far.
