Fortnite is a massively popular online multiplayer game developed by Epic Games, originally launched in 2017. It is best known for its free-to-play Battle Royale mode, where 100 players skydive onto an island, scavenge for weapons and resources, and fight to be the last person or squad standing within an ever-shrinking storm circle.
Beyond Battle Royale, Fortnite has expanded into a broader platform with multiple modes including Zero Build (no building mechanics), Creative (player-made islands and games), and Lego Fortnite, a survival crafting experience. The game features a seasonal content model with a Battle Pass system that introduces new cosmetics, characters, and themed storylines each season.
Fortnite is widely known for its crossover collaborations with major pop culture franchises including Marvel, Star Wars, Nike, and numerous music artists. It remains one of the most-played games globally, with a large and active competitive scene through the Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS).
