Battle Royale - Launch Trailer

Fortnite is the world's most popular Battle Royale game developed by Epic Games. There, 99 players will be on the map, either alone or with a team. After landing, it is crazy to carry as many weapons and items as you can in the middle of the map. Who was the last player to win the match?

Unlike traditional multiplayer games, Fortnite has only a single, large map for a specific period of time. You won't find many players in the early days of the game. However, as the game progresses, there is a ring that slowly closes toward the center of the map. If you get caught outside the ring, your character will die.

Fortnite is similar to the playerUnkown's Battlegrounds and Apex Legends in its format. However, it does have one unique feature. In Fortnite, your character can build structures as you go. It allows you to set traps, build forts, and create shields during the game. Unlike other War Royal games, Fortnite requires you to practice shooting and building.

Optimal Hardware Suggestions

Fortnite system requirements are quite basic. Utilizing the unreal engine as well as choosing to use more 'animated' graphics than that of its competitors helps keep the barriers to entry quite low. To run Fortnite smoothly, you will need Windows 7 64-bit or higher, and the CPU should be at least an Intel Core i3 processor with 4GB RAM or an AMD equivalent being a Ryzen 1st generation CPU or a Ryzen APU. On the GPU front, a simple integrated GPU would suffice such as Intel HD 4000 or Vega 8 or 11 graphics. Otherwise, a GPU which has at least 2GB VRAM, so GPUs such as the RX570 or 1050TI are more than capable of running Fortnite, however, you would need to lower the video settings in-game.
