Download Fortnite 4.1.0

Fortnite is a co-op survival sandbox game from development studio Epic Games. The graphic style is cartoony and is reminiscent of the style of games like Team Fortress. That automatically places the emphasis on fun. There are two modes in the game: the story-driven ‘Save the World’ mode, which is currently still paid, and the free ‘Battle Royale’ mode, where you compete against other players. The game can be played on Windows, macOS, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, although it should be noted that there is currently no cross-platform game world. For more information, please refer to our brief review. The developers have released Fortnite 4.1.0 with the following announcement:
