    Fortnite is a massive platform now, not one game with a few modes. They have car racing, the actual fortnite game, Lego survival crafting, all kinds of stuff. It’s why the download is 100+GB and every patch is like 50gb.

      They have Rock Band too. Yes really, it’s even worked on by Harmonix, the original creators.

      What the actual fuck? Glad I quit playing it years ago, cause I like new features but I hate when games stray too far from the original vision (yes I’m aware that BR is a spinoff but you get my point). Why still call it Fortnite, if building forts is no longer a core aspect of the game?

        The Battle Royale portion is called Fortnite Battle Royale. The true original Fortnite was a sandbox defense game that is now known as Fortnite: Save the World. They are both accessible from the Fortnite lobby.

        Very confusing.

          They’re trying to create a Super-app, similar to what WeChat is in China, but for games. Very interesting concept, there’s a lot of videos about the concept. Though I detest the idea of centralized apps and accounts therefore more central tracking of you.
