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. In an action experience from the only company smart enough to attach chainsaws to guns, get out there to push back the Storm and save the world. And don't forget to Loot all the things.

What's New

The checkered flag waves, bringing an end to the Ranked period that began with Inferno Island. But that means a new Ranked period begins now with v31.40! Learn more about what to expect in v31.40 and beyond.

Rank Reset

  • As a reminder, your starting rank in a new Ranked period is based on your finishing rank in the last Ranked period. This means you may start in Gold, Silver, etc. instead of Bronze if you finished at a high rank in the last Ranked period.
  • This Ranked period will end with the release of v33.00 – jump into the Ranked Racing playlist and Turbo past your rivals!

Questin' on the Commute

  • May your fashion never drift. During this Ranked period, complete Weekly Quests, Ranked Quests, and Speed Run Time Trials Quests rewarding Car items.

Weekly Quests

We said we didn't want your fashion to drift, but we never said we didn't want it to fade. For completing six Week 1 Quests, you'll unlock the Mystic Fade Boost! You'll also unlock the Grey, Cobalt, Titanium White, and Sky Blue paint colors for it.

Unlock more paint colors as you complete the Week 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 Quests. Like to fire yourself up for a race by cranking some tunes? You'll unlock Jam Tracks (playable in the Lobby) when you complete the Week 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Quests!

Ranked Quests

It's your time to shine! When you get to Bronze I between now and v33.00 (which shouldn't be too hard to do!), you'll unlock the Starry Boost. Keep going up the ranks to unlock paint colors for the Boost including Titanium White at Elite, Crimson at Champion, and Purple at Unreal!

You a rising star? Unlock the Starry Trail by reaching Platinum I between now and v33.00! Like with the Starry Boost, keep going up the ranks to unlock paint colors.

The Ranked Quests and Weekly Quests will remain completable until v33.00!

Speed Run Time Trials Quests

If you've been practicing your runs on Outpost, Jackrabbit, Seaside Farms, or Cliff Runner 2 – you're in luck! Speed Run Time Trials Quests will become available sequentially now through November 1, assessing your speed on Outpost, Jackrabbit, Seaside Farms, then finally Cliff Runner 2. These Quests will be completable until November 8 at 6 AM ET.

For completing just one of the Quests, you'll unlock the Semi-Speed Wheels. Don't let its name fool you – the "semi" refers to its design, not speed! Complete more of these Quests to unlock paint colors for this semi-circularly adorned but fully awesome reward.

A new set of Speed Run Time Trials Quests will race onto the scene sequentially from November 8 to November 15. Completable until November 29 at 6 AM ET, overcome the trials to unlock the Cybernetic Wheels, plus paint colors for these robotic rollers!

A Fright and Delight: Nitemare Quests

Fortnitemares has flown into Rocket Racing, and even though it brings frightful Quests like finishing laps without hitting hazards, the amount of XP rewarded is nothing but delightful. These "Nitemare" Quests don't give Locker items, but they can give you what you need to complete Fortnitemares XP Quests and to keep leveling up in the Battle Pass!

Complete the sequential Nitemares Quests until v32.00.
