While games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Hogwarts Legacy stole the show, Fortnite appealed to the gaming community much more. iFireMonkey listed some points in his video explaining the main aspects that are going to be different in PS5. 

Why PlayStation showed Fortnite in their showcase?

The latest introduction of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 comes as an advantage for all PC players. Priced at $699, it looks like the best option for all PC players, as it adds several new graphical features in-game.

At the same time, it is breaking boundaries by reaching out to millions of people, regardless of age. This way, the game is almost as good as a movie series or a book series.
