Fortnite Leak Suggests Save the World Might Arrive on Switch 2

Sure thing, here we go.

—

I swear, sometimes it feels like the universe just has a way of keeping things from happening until, bam, it’s suddenly all possible. Picture this: Fortnite’s Save the World, the game mode that’s been elusive on Nintendo, might just be making its grand entrance on the Switch 2. Why now? Honestly, who knows, but we’ve spotted some juicy hints buried in the game code.

It’s wild, right? Fortnite showed up on the Nintendo Switch back in June 2018. Feels like yesterday and forever ago at the same time. But things were rocky at first—not gonna lie. If you had a PlayStation account, tough luck using it on the Switch because cross-play was a big fat no. Made no sense, I know. Thankfully, Sony gave in, and players could finally unite their accounts in 2019. A huge sigh of relief all around.

Save the World, though? Completely MIA on Nintendo. Rumors kept popping up now and again. It was like, come on Epic Games, why’s it taking so long? Some folks think it was about the game not being optimized enough for the original Switch. Maybe Epic just didn’t prioritize it. You know how things go—shiny new things always grab the attention.

But then there’s this leaker—iFireMonkey—who digs around game files like it’s treasure hunting and finds mentions of a Joy-Con mouse feature in Fortnite for the Switch 2. Apparently, it’s disabled for Save the World. Now, why would that be the only mode without it? Makes you think something’s afoot.

A mix of excitement and skepticism, honestly. Some swear it’s a sign that Save the World’s coming. Others are like, why doesn’t it have these features if it’s coming? Classic head-scratcher. But Epic has been kinda chill on updating Save the World for a while, so maybe they’ve been less keen on working on it for less powerful systems. Who’s to say?

Either way, gamers are buzzing, and whether this is a real thing or just another goose chase—well, time will tell. Would be incredible for those who’ve been waiting for a proper Nintendo launch all these years. Fingers crossed, right?

Oh, and Fortnite’s still adding stuff, too. A new feature in their Ballistic update that evens out the gameplay for unbalanced matches. Sort of a “how did it take so long” moment, but better late than never, yeah?

Anyway, I guess we’ll see if the world finally gets saved on the Switch. Imagine how wild that’d be.
