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.

Fortnite’s 10.40 patch brings a new Rift Zone, Starry Suburbs, as well as previously-announced changes to matchmaking. There are also tweaks to controller sensitivity and aim assist, as well as a playlist called The Combine that lets players practice their aiming and reflexes.

Fortnite’s 10.30 patch adds two new areas: Moisty Palms, which is now a prop hunt, and Greasy Grove, where falling tacos make players dance and restore health. It also vaults the burst SMG and unvaults the Tactical SMG. Players can also vote on an item to bring back to the item shop.

Fortnite’s 10.20 patch includes a Borderlands crossover that resembles the game’s planet Pandora. It also adds a new item, the Shield Bubble, that defends against projectiles and explosives. Sounds a lot like Apex Legends’ Gibraltar’s dome, doesn’t it...

Fortnite’s 10.10 patch turns Mega Mall into Retail Row and adds Fiends. There’s also a new limited time mode, and the Brute is now available in Creative—that’s more Brutes, not less, but they’ll be fun to play around with outside a match.
