Summary
Experiencing significant frame rate drops (falling from 120 FPS down to 80-90 FPS) when playing on 1v1 maps with a high player count on PlayStation 5 Slim, while playing in another 1v1 map with only 2 players remains nearly stable at 120 FPS.

Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Fortnite on a PlayStation 5 Slim.
- Join a 1v1 map with only two players and observe a nearly stable 120 FPS.
- Join the same type of 1v1 map, but with a high player count.
- Observe the frame rate drop significantly down to 80-90 FPS during matches.
Expected Result
Frame rates should remain stable around 120 FPS regardless of the player count, matching the performance seen in smaller two-player lobbies.
Observed Result
Framerates drop heavily to 80-90 FPS in lobbies with high player counts. I suspect this issue started around two weeks ago because a friend pointed it out to me.
Platform(s)
PlayStation 5 Slim
Additional Notes
Tested in maps with 12 and 16 players with consistent frame drops. A friend on PC experienced a similar issue that was resolved after updating their graphics driver, suggesting this might be related to hardware optimization or recent backend build updates affecting larger player counts on specific platforms.
