How To Invert Your Fortnite Y Axis

Getting the right camera controls is important. If you're used to inverted controls, you can easily switch to your preferred settings in Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale, whether you're on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or PS5.

Here is how to invert y-axis in Fortnite:

1. Open the Fortnite Settings menu and select the Game Settings Tab (gear icon).
2. Scroll down to the Extra Game Settings section.
3. Turn Invert View to on to invert y axis.

After following the above steps, your y-axis will be inverted.

While we're in the settings menu, there are some more Fortnite settings you may want to mess around with. For example, maybe you're interested in the best FPS settings in Fortnite or getting a custom crosshair in Fortnite.

Can You Invert X Axis in Fortnite?

You can't invert the x-axis in Fortnite. Inverted camera controls that we presented will only invert your y-axis, not your x-axis.
