Fortnite is an online multiplayer action game developed and published by Epic Games. It launched in 2017 and has expanded from its original Save the World and Battle Royale offerings into a broader platform containing multiple game experiences, including Battle Royale, Zero Build, Fortnite Festival, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and creator-made games.
Battle Royale is one of Fortnite's central experiences, placing players on an island where they collect equipment, move through an increasingly restricted play area, and compete to be the last player or team standing. The traditional Battle Royale experience combines shooting, looting, building, and destructible environments, while Zero Build removes the building mechanic.
Fortnite also includes Creative tools and a large library of creator-made experiences. Players can discover games covering genres and activities such as racing, parkour, survival, and other custom formats, while Unreal Editor for Fortnite provides additional tools for creators on supported PC configurations.
Its notable feature is its broad cross-platform ecosystem. Epic officially lists support for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS/iPadOS, while Fortnite can also be played through supported cloud-gaming services.
