While both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 support some amazing titles, including Grand Theft Auto V, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and others, these gaming consoles cannot run Fortnite.

Despite Fortnite having cartoonish graphics, the truth is that it's very demanding. Even Xbox One and PlayStation 4 gamers have issues running the game in Chapter 4.

Epic Games' most popular title is not natively available on these platforms and cannot be sideloaded either. While the developers strive to improve the game and make it available on more devices, it is unlikely that Fortnite will ever be available on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.
