Preliminary information
Prima di enter the dettaglio della procedura su how to put squashed view on Fortnite PS4, I think it might interest you to know more about this possibility.
Well, the squashed view (often called stretched resolution, in English) is a resolution that is used by players of the popular Epig Games title to increase the size of the enemies that appear on the screen and, consequently, see them in more detail to hit them more easily. Stretched resolution works like this: the X axis is decreased, while the Y axis is increased (hence the name of "flat view"). However, there are multiple variations of this resolution and some players also refer to this term to simply refer to a view that does not cover 100% of the screen.
In short, it is a method that allows you to have an important competitive advantage over your opponents. On computers, however, this technique is not frowned upon, since to activate it you have to go and get your hands on the game files.
On PlayStation 4, on the other hand, you don't have to do any of this, since there is one native functionality to change the console resolution. Taking advantage of this method is therefore not considered a hack.
How to put squashed view on Fortnite PS4
After explaining what the squashed view is and how it works, I'd say you're ready to set it up to play Fortnite on your PlayStation 4.
To proceed, you need to go to the toolbar top of the PlayStation home menu and press the button X controller above the icon Settings (the gear symbol). At this point, select the item first Audio and screen and later that Display area settings. Once this is done, use the arrows to adjust the view according to your needs and press the button X of the pad to confirm.
After that, go to the path Video output settings > Resolution, press the button X controller on resolution best suited to your purpose (e.g. 480p o 720p) And that's it. For more information on the current video stream, select the item Video output information. Perfect: now the video stream of the PlayStation 4 (and therefore of all the games, Fortnite included) will have the "squashed view" that you have set.
In case you just can't find the resolution that's right for you, you might want to consider using the TV video settingslooking for the option Image and the parameter Aspect Ratio (you need to set it to 4: 3).
Unfortunately, I cannot be more precise with my indications, as each model of television makes its own story. In any case, I invite you to consult the instruction manual of your TV for more information.
