Epic Games release an article all about Fortnite on Next Gen consoles on its website.
Is this an all-new Fortnite?

How will Fortnite take advantage on Next-Gen Hardware?
More powerful hardware allows Epic to improve performance and visuals.
At launch, the version of Fortnite released on next-gen consoles will be built with Unreal Engine 4.
It will then be migrated to Unreal Engine 5 in mid-2021.

Release Date
We can suspect that the Fortnite version that will be playable on the Series X may release as soon as the console hits the shelves later this fall.
If it does not release as soon as the Xbox launches, expect it to within the following weeks just in time of the holiday season.
As well, keep your eyes peeled for any promotional consoles or other skin bundles Epic decides to release!
