Fortnite Season 5 proves Epic Games’ mastery of ‘the big day’

Fortnite’s fifth season starts today, and it proves that Epic Games has found a strong formula to keep its hit battle royale game fresh.

Fortnite has been a huge hit since adding its Battle Royale mode in September. You can play the game every relevant platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, Android, and iOS. The free-to-play game has attracted over 125 million players thanks to its ubiquity, engaging gameplay, and presence on livestreaming site Twitch and other forms of social media.
