Fortnite is a game made by Epic Games that came out in 2017. There are different ways to play it, but they all have the same basic idea. One way is called Fortnite Battle Royale. It's free, and up to 100 players fight until only one person is left standing. Another way to play is called Fortnite: Save the World. In this one, up to four players work together to fight off zombie-like creatures and protect things using traps and buildings they create.
There's also Fortnite Creative, where players can make their own worlds and battle areas. Along with these, there are some new versions called Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. Save the World and Battle Royale first came out in 2017 for testing, while Creative was released later in 2018. Among them, Battle Royale became super popular and had over 125 million players in less than a year. It made tons of money, around hundreds of millions of dollars every month. Altogether, Fortnite made $9 billion by December 2019.
You can play Save the World on macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. But Battle Royale and Creative are available on those platforms plus Android, iOS devices, and Nintendo Switch. It's also out on the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival will be on all these platforms too.

Fortnite drops you onto an island along with many other players. Your main goal? Be the last person or team standing. To make things interesting, a storm keeps shrinking the playable area, forcing everyone closer together. You explore the map, find weapons and resources, and use them to protect yourself or build structures. It's not just about shooting—being strategic with building and finding the best gear is key to winning.
Another important thing in Fortnite is teamwork. You can play solo or team up with friends to increase your chances of winning. Communicating and coordinating with your squad can really help you outmaneuver opponents and survive longer in the game. Whether you're building forts, sneaking around, or engaging in intense shootouts, the last one standing is the ultimate champ!
