 What do you mean?

 

Why do you need to use a square aspect ratio in the first place?

 

you could use 1600x900 or 1280x720p if you just want a lower resolution, but do you have a specific use case where you need to use 1080x1080 resolution? In that case you could stretch the image, but it ain't gonna look pretty...

Fortnite? Why do you need 1080x1080 on fortnite? Doesn't fortnight support all the resolution scalings?

In which case you could just use a different 16/9 resolution?

 

Or why exactly do you need square image on fortnine?

It wouldn't shock me. 

People play stretched resolutions all the time in CS:GO and Fortnite. Not sure why 1080x1080 became popular in particular but stretched has always been big in eSports games that aren't Overwatch.

Why "should" everyone use 1920x1080 ? You seem like a sceptical person who is afraid of trying new stuff. Try new stuff and stop hiding in your comfort zone, your life will be a lot better. ( Now this comment will either get no replies/laughter/rejection without valid arguments. Just save yourself some trouble and apply what I said to your life. )
This is one of the best fortnite players in the world, he uses 1080x1080. Watch his gameplay, judge for yourself.

It's because you edit a lot easier with stretched mode. The way you move the bouse whilst editing walls and stairs. Stretched helps a lot!
