Build. Battle. Create. Fortnite Battle Royale is the always free, always evolving, multiplayer game where you and your friends battle to be the last one standing in an intense 100 player PvP mode.

Why is Fortnite so popular?

Fortnite became more than a game, a cultural phenomenon. This battle royale game offers an intersection of features that made it popular with young players who used the game to meet and chat, in addition to play together and stream their gameplay. Developer Epic Games has also done a great job of keeping the game fresh with in-game events, seasons, weapons, skins and game modes.

Fortnite was also made popular by its free to play model and availability on a multitude of platforms including PC, Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, iOS* and Android. This attracts a wide and diverse player base. Finally, its building mechanic sets it apart from other battle royale games and gives gameplay an extra layer to master and have fun.

Is Fortnite appropriate for kids?

Fortnite has a Teen rating and is intended for kids 13 years old and older. However, there are various factors to take under consideration besides the official ESRB rating. There is violence in the game (no blood), chat and voice chat with other players, and gaming can become addictive and time consuming.

How many players can play in a Fortnite match?

A standard Fortnite match consists of up to 100 players. You can play solo, in duos, or in squads of up to four. The number of players in a match can vary depending on the game mode, however. For example, the Fortnite Creative mode allows players to create their own custom maps and invite their friends to play on them, and the number of players on these maps is limited only by the size of the map.

Save the World

The Storm came without warning and 98% of the world's population vanished ... then came the monsters. You and up to four players lead the world's remaining Heroes in a battle to save survivors and hold back the monster hordes. Explore a large, destructible world where no two games are ever the same. Build huge forts, craft exotic weapons, find loot and level up your Heroes.

Battle Royale

Fortnite Battle Royale is the completely free 100-player PvP mode in Fortnite. One giant map. A battle bus. Fortnite building skills and destructible environments combined with intense PvP combat. The last one standing wins.

Creative

Build your Fortnite. Imagine a place where you make the rules, filled with your favorite things and your favorite people. Claim your own personal island and start creating! Design your own games. Invent games with friends, and build your dream Fortnite experiences. Your island, your friends, your rules.

Android

On mobile, Fortnite is the same 100-player PvP game you know from PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Mac. Same map, same gameplay, same weekly updates. Build your fort as you battle to be the last one standing. Jump in and squad up with friends around the world or in the same room.

Band together online to build extravagant forts, find or build insane weapons and traps and protect your towns from the strange Monsters that emerge during the Storm.

What's New

Look out! Something massive is afoot. Godzilla and Kong are arriving in Fortnite Battle Royale with v33.20! Unlock the Godzilla Evolved Outfit from Battle Pass Quests, and wreak havoc across the Battle Royale Island by jumping in and becoming the monster Godzilla itself!

Take Down a Titan in Battle Royale

Starting January 17, there's a special chance that a portal will appear on the Battle Royale map. The first player to find and jump through it will emerge as the colossal titan, Godzilla!

As Godzilla, you can reveal nearby players with Roar, send them flying with a Mighty Stomp Attack, and lay waste to other players and structures with Heat Ray.

Only one player can become Godzilla when the portal spawns in a Battle Royale match. It's up to other players to take them down! Aim for Godzilla's weak spots to deal extra damage and knock off Godzilla's Fragments, which you can consume to gain 40 Health and 3 dash charges. Pick up the unvaulted Rail Gun for extra firepower in the fight, and use the Shield Bubble for cover!

The player who deals the most damage to Godzilla will be rewarded with the Godzilla Medallion, which gives a recharging dash ability (up to three charges at a time), as well as the exotic Burst Quad Launcher.

Unlock the Godzilla Evolved Outfit

Rise together with Godzilla… or fall alone. Starting January 17, owners of the 鬼 HUNTERS Battle Pass will be able to unlock the Godzilla Evolved Outfit by completing Battle Pass Quests in any experience! This Outfit will start glowing after your first elim in a match and will glow even brighter with each one.

By completing the Quests, you can also unlock matching accessories like Godzilla's Exo-Spine Back Bling, the Crystal Fang Pickaxe, the Mothra Glider, and the Lil' Godzilla Attack Emote! Complete all the Quests and you'll unlock Godzilla Evolved's Energized Godzilla Style! These Battle Pass Quests will be completable until Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 6 Season 1: 鬼 HUNTERS ends February 21, 2025, at 2 AM ET!
