Note: This MAY or MAY not work. These are tips we’ve gathered on Reddit where players have stated it’s worked for them.
- Change your TV or monitor settings to wide-screen.
- On PS4, go to settings > sound and screen > display area settings. Shrink it to the maximum.
- If you have the option, turn off “overscan” on your TV.
- Go into the TV’s settings and mess around with the “picture mode” or similar. Changed it to “movie”, if that doesn’t work then try another mode.
- Change the aspect ratio of your TV.
- Go to your TV’s display settings, select aspect ratio and change it to Just Scan

Fortnite how do u play the special event:blitz
U cant they havent released it yet
What even is blitz
When do they release it
I think this will come out near the end of season 2/start of season 3 and will involve ww1/ww2 weapons incuding the minigun and the gun coming next week.
It is not out yet I will be soon though
None of them worked please update it its really annoying and hard to build because i cannot see how much metal i have
I just changed my picture size on my tv to native. Will work for noe untill they can fix it.
Same it’s super annoying fix it
How do u play the new event
Fortnite didn’t mean to put that daily challenge on its a mistake
Yall are really good game creators and have done so well on updating the game! so i have no doubt you’ll fix it soon
These didn’t work, my PS4 isn’t zoomed in only fortnite.
Same
Same here, and I don’t even have a tv remote my tv is from like 1869
SAme problem and it was perfectly normal until the new update
It Is Only Zoomed In On Fortnite And Also Can You Take Off The Daily Challenge “Blitz!” If Its Not Out Yet 😉
It’s under event challenges, not daily, both are two different things
How on xbox
If you’re on xbox, you’d have to use 1. or 3.
Wym?
Fuck this bug fix it soon
Nope and I am on Xbox so can’t try the second one
U changing the settings on the TV worked for me. Thanks for the tips.
No problem!
It’s under event challenges, not daily
yes mine too. epic games please fix this. Its not my ps4 its just my fortnite screen
Native also worked for me
Please fix it now I nearly smashed my controller because I can’t see sh.t
Even when I did what your instructions were, it still wouldn’t fix it on my tv, so could you guys do anything on your side?
Tv picture size to fit screen worked for me , so nothing to worry about
So the rest of us don’t matter, as long as Gary is good?
O can’t fix this problem 🙁
Overscan turned off on my Panasonic tv worked!
Awesome!
Where is the overscan???
It seems like “play with a friend” daily challenges not counted!
I played too many games with my friend but its still not worked!
My Xbox is doing the same thing and I tried all of these even deleting and reinstalling the game and nothing
Xbox one user and I also tried these nothing working before the update it was fine until now it’s zoomed in. So how long till this part is fixed just the zoomed in part?
It’s the game not a setting on your tv or console
You can fix it by just restarting the whole ps4 or Xbox it worked for me
If this isn’t fixed by tomorrow I’m done with fortnite, this game gets glitchier and shittier with every update, I’m sick of it
TV doesn’t support a size that fixes it. Really impossible to play 🙁
Fortnite I swear you better fix your game! Every week there is a new problem and it’s getting old! Fix it now!
It’s not gonna work for me i have a older tv and i dont have the picture settings this game was amazing ultil that new up date Fxcked it All Up PLZ PATCH EPIC
Same I have an old tv that has none of the settings it has ruins the game I’m so annoyed. I keep wanting to play the game but I’m not untill there fix it
Yep just tried all of above options and nothing worked. Thanks for you hard work trying to get this fixed ASAP.
My screen is zoomed in too much fix it
Fortnite gets stuck on “press X to continue”. I press X and nothing happens. Been like this since last night. I tried a different controller no luck. I have the latest update and even tried deleting fortnite and reinstalling.
I do not know if this will help but, like with all new games that I get it asks me in the beginning of each game to set up the end of the arrows for the top and bottom, then side to side to make the game fit my TV. If you add this to the game it should fix our issue
Yes I looked all over in the game settings trying to find this and couldn’t.
Unfortunately none of these steps have worked for me personally. Maybe because of my old HDTV, nonetheless if you guys could fix this in game or have an option in game maybe just like the PS4 system does
I can’t get past the “press X to continue” when the game first starts. I tried reinstalling and it’s still the same
None of these things works for me you need to fix this problem for the Xbox one players please and thanks!!
Is there not a way that doesn’t involve messing with your TV for xbox, only asking my tv doesn’t have an option to change the display or aspect ratio in its options
When is the patch coming out for xbox
When will there be a patch for xbox one zoom in glitch

Sorted mine!! On tv settings I had to change ‘full mode’ from ‘normal’ to ‘ 1:1 ‘
Safe
