The default keybinds for the Fortnite Festival mode are pretty uncomfortable and to make matters worse, players had no option to change them. Thankfully, Epic Games finally allowed players to modify Fortnite Festival controls with the release of the Chapter 5 Season 2 update. So, if you’re also looking to customize them, here’s a step-by-step guide to change Fortnite Festival gameplay mode binds.

How to change Fortnite Festival controls

Here are the steps that you must follow in order to customize Fortnite Festival keybinds:

• Launch Fortnite on your PC.
• Press the Escape button on your keyboard and head to the Settings menu.
• Navigate to the Keyboard Controls tab located at the top of the screen.
• Switch to the Main Stage (Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert) section.
• Finally, select the control you want to modify and assign a new key.

The best part is you can assign two different keys to perform the same action while playing Fortnite festival songs. We’ve also seen many players preferring the number keypad over the alphabet for the Fortnite Festival mode due to its layout. So if you have a 100% keyboard, you can definitely give it a shot.

Best Fortnite Festival controls

As mentioned earlier, the default controls of the Fortnite Festival aren’t ideal for many players. Nevertheless, here’s a look at the default settings:

Platform	Lane 1	Lane 2	Lane 3	Lane 4	Lane 5 (Expert only)	Overdrive
PC (keyboard)	D	F	J	K	L	Space bar
PlayStation	D-Pad Left	D-Pad Right	Square	Triangle	Circle	R2
Switch	D-Pad Left	D-Pad Right	Y	X	A	ZR
Xbox	D-Pad Left	D-Pad Right	X	Y	B	RT

Best Settings for PC

We’d recommend using the function keys if you’re playing Fortnite Festival on a PC:

Main Stage	Lane 1 (F1)	Lane 2 (F2)	Lane 3 (F3)	Lane 4 (F4)	Lane 5 (F5)	Overdrive (F8)
Easy, Medium, Hard	F1	F2	F3	F4	N/A	F8
Expert	F1	F2	F3	F4	F5	F8

Best Settings for PS5/Xbox

For console players, we recommend using the following layout which comes with the most convenient positioning for hands.

Main Stage Difficulty	Lane 1	Lane 2	Lane 3	Lane 4	Lane 5	Overdrive
PS5 (Easy, Medium, Hard)	L2	L1	R1	R2	N/A	D-Pad Up
PS5 (Expert)	L2	L1	R1	R2	X	D-Pad Up
Xbox (Easy, Medium, Hard)	Left trigger	Left bumper	Right bumper	Right trigger	N/A	D-Pad Up
Xbox (Expert)	Left trigger	Left bumper	Right bumper	Right trigger	A	D-Pad Up

As always, you can slightly modify them as per your preferences by heading to the settings menu in Fortnite.
