Fortnite

Epic Games' unstoppable online game and social platform debuted in 2017, and its popularity shows no signs of slowing, with a steady stream of collabs with major musicians and iconic franchises.

Don’t worry, everyone: Peely is as horrible in real life as it is in Fortnite. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Fortnite’s 9.41 patch adds a new weapon, the Storm Scout Sniper Rifle, which lets you see where the storm is moving. Birthday presents, which give items, and birthday cakes, which give health and shields, can be found around the map. There’s also a new picture-in-picture mode that will let you watch the World Cup

$30 million seemed like an absurd amount of money for the prize pool at Fortnite’s first World Cup event, but Dota 2 has just surpassed it. Earlier this morning, the prize pool for the Valve-sponsored International 2019 hit $30.1 million and it’s still rising, making it the biggest cash prize ever in esports.

Fortnite’s 9.40 patch brings epic and legendary variants of the tactical shotgun, adds an Xbox-only tournament, and changes how items stack. See the full patch notes for all the details.
