How does it play? The Battle Royale mode of Fortnite is particularly popular. Here you jump out of a bus onto a play area at the beginning of a match and decide as one of up to 100 players where you want to land. After landing, you search for weapons and ammunition to prepare yourself against attacks from other players.

During a match, the play area shrinks due to a deadly storm. The last player or team standing wins.

Fortnite differs from other Battle Royale games mainly through its building mode. Players can gather materials in the world and build useful stairs, walls, or even houses out of wood, metal, and stone.

Fortnite: Battle Royale is free and does not require purchase.
