Welcome to our in-depth (less) look at Fortnite! Get ready to explore the world of this massively popular game.
Fortnite, developed by Epic Games and released in 2017, isn't just one game, it's a platform with multiple game modes.
The most famous is Battle Royale, a last-man-standing showdown. But there's also Save the World, a co-op zombie-fighting experience.
Then there's Creative Mode, a sandbox where players build their own worlds and games, even custom Fall Guys levels!
Beyond these, Fortnite offers Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and the tactical shooter, Fortnite Ballistic, each providing a unique gameplay experience.
A key element is the building mechanic. Constructing structures on the fly is crucial for survival and adds a layer of strategic depth.
Recent updates have boosted mobility with ledge jumps, roll landings, and more, enhancing both gameplay and survival.

Fortnite's monetization is primarily through V-Bucks, used for cosmetic items and battle passes. Most modes are free-to-play, except Save the World.
Fortnite's massive popularity, with over 125 million players in its first year and billions in revenue, cemented its place in gaming history.
From Battle Royale's intense competition to Creative's boundless creativity, Fortnite offers a diverse and engaging experience for millions.
