The colorful coop online shooter Fortnite by Epic Games launches today, July 21, 2017, in Early Access. If you have a founder pack, you can now start the monster hunting and fortress building on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Fortnite is a vibrant coop shooter from Epic Games, the creators of the MOBA game Paragon. However, Fortnite is not a MOBA but a team shooter where you gather resources during the day with your teammates and build a formidable fortress.
At night, hordes of monsters come to tear down your defenses. Only if you built well and shoot effectively can you survive the night.
Fortnite – Early Access for Founder Packs
If you are excited about the coop shooter, you can start today, July 21, 2017, at 4:00 PM and download the game now. But only if you have purchased a founder pack for Fortnite.
The founder packs cost at least 39.99 euros, but there is also a hefty “Limited Edition” that costs 149.99 euros. If you have a pack, you can register your code on PC under the Epic Launcher by clicking on your account name and selecting the “Redeem Code” option.
You can order founder packs for PC and PS4 here at Epic Games.
Attention! On Xbox One, you need to purchase the founder pack in the Xbox store, and to play on PlayStation 4, your accounts must be linked. At the provided link you can find out how to link your account on Epic Games’ page. By the way, there is no Steam version; Fortnite initially runs on PC only via the Epic Games Launcher.
