I can't wait for Fortnite!
Great game! I still think it's over hyped but it's still pretty fun. Try it first before you judge it.
Definitely a dope game. Very addicting, sometimes frustrating, but loads of fun!!!
Season 3 = Nice, Season 4 = What is this?, Season 5 = Rubbish
new season is really bad compared to season 3
Just noticed the Player count says 2. That's for Xbox and PS4/5 only; Split-Screen is not on Switch.
I dont like the game that much its very overrated
