Considering that it is a paid game, players are visibly disappointed by the lack of support for Fortnite Save the World on the Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. While the former Switch had no support for the PvE mode, players had expected the next generation to finally offer support for this paid game. However, it seems the Switch 2 will not support STW anytime soon.

On the official blog, Epic Games has stated that apart from Save the World, all other Fortnite games will be available for players. The developers have not given any additional information regarding whether or when the PvE mode will be supported on this new console.
