What it is

Fortnite is Epic's free-to-play phenomenon. Its signature battle royale mixes shooting with real-time building, but it has grown into a platform of LEGO, racing, music and thousands of creator islands. It runs through the Epic Games launcher rather than Steam, and its live events regularly reshape the map.

Why play it

  • Free to play with a generous, cosmetic-only monetisation model.
  • Constant new seasons, collaborations and live in-game events.
  • A whole ecosystem of modes beyond battle royale.
Worth knowing

The building mechanic is a real skill gap — try Zero Build mode if it feels overwhelming.
