Fortnite Vs. PUBG - Which Game Is Better?

4. Control Schemes & Utilisation

If you're anything of a self-identifying PC gamer, you'll already be au fait with your limbs resembling those of Squiddly Diddly; darting to and fro across a number of inputs, button shortcuts and mouse wheel options to control a character's full array of abilities.

For PUBG on PC, this works a treat (after an hour or so), giving you a full repertoire of moves from leaning around corners to swapping ammo types, cycling through seats in a vehicle to hopping between perspectives when running or shooting.

All of these abilities are also on Xbox, using a surprisingly comprehensible series of "hold this, then this" combinations to replicate PUBG's "larger sibling" PC counterpart. This really works far better than it has any right to (just look at the game's controller map) and represents a tangible real-world learning curve for you as a player to get your head around.

In Fortnite, your options are stripped WAY down. Aside from running and gunning, you've got a crouch and... that's it. No prone, no leaning - nothing outside of base combat, other than the game's construction suite, where you can turn pieces of the environment into towers, ramps and more.

It's another win for PUBG, simply because all of its wider moves and tactics are available from moment one, you just have to get used to them. Fortnite can occasionally feel too limited when push comes to shove, and across long play sessions with the two, ultimately this drags it down.

Winner: PUBG
