Why You Should Play Fortnite

 

Fortnite is still relevant to this day despite the stiff competition, and here are some of the reasons why it’s still worthy of being a part of your library of games.

You might’ve tried Fortnite when it was first released. We can’t blame you. It was, after all, the hottest thing at the time—and you can still argue that it is to this very day. The Battle Royale genre was still trying to find its place in the gaming community back then. Now, however, the market is oversaturated thanks to the abundance of similar games that have since been released. Tons of Fortnite tracker started popping up as well thanks to its popularity. While Fortnite didn’t invent the genre, it’s the game that really catapulted Battle Royale’s popularity to new levels.

Multiplayer online games aren’t rare these days, but most of the online competitive first-person and third-person shooting games at the time only consisted of two teams that duked it out on a certain map. Despite the stiff competition that Epic Games has, we think that Fortnite Battle Royale is still worthy of playing in 2020. Sure, the scene has shifted to the more tactical style of gameplay for online competitive FPS, but we really believe that Fortnite still has some tricks up its sleeve that can at least make you play and enjoy it just like in the old days.

1. The Game Has Gotten Smaller

Fortnite has been making headlines lately because of how Epic Games has optimized the game to perfection; and by perfection, we mean smaller. Thanks to the recent updates and tweaks that were made by Epic, the PC version of Fortnite has shrunk down considerably. This is a great move as Fortnite had ballooned over the years. Just recently, it could easily take over 90GB of your hard drive disk space. The newest update, Patch 14.40, aimed to fix that. Besides the usual updates for the upcoming Fortnitemares 2020 and Fortnite trackers, it was surprising that Epic managed to trim the fat—and a lot of it at that! With the long-overdue tidying up done, Fortnite is now just under 30GB. Taking up less space on your PC gives you the luxury of having more room for other games that you might want to install. This is great if you’re looking to download bigger games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare since it requires a ton of space. By being smaller and compact, you can download the game without having to worry about it taking up too much space on your computer. So hold off on buying that extra RAM or SSD card because it looks like you won’t be needing it, thanks to Epic trimming off the excess fat.

2. Crazy Events to Remember

Epic Games always comes out on top when it comes to managing events. With Fortnitemares 2020 coming, you have the opportunity to dip your toes in the events you haven’t experienced in Fortnite. Since it is Halloween, you can expect decors around the map that fit the bill such as cobwebs and pumpkin heads. There’s also Halloween-exclusive weapons that you can try out for a limited time if you’re into that. Besides the celebration of certain seasons such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day, Fortnite also has in-game concerts! You read that right, you can experience a concert right in front of your computer. The recent concerts they did together with Marshmello, Travis Scott, and the ultra-popular K-Pop band BTS made headlines. No one has ever seen a game host a concert before—at least not as big as what Epic did for Fortnite. If you want to take part in these crazy events, playing Fortnite or even just visiting the game every now and then to see what’s new is the way to go!

3.       Play However You Want

Fortnite is a huge game that’s available to play on almost any platform. Sure, you can’t run it on your toaster, but hey! Doom managed to run through a hundred pounds of potatoes, so anything’s possible at this point. Kidding aside, Fortnite is available to play on PC, consoles, and mobile devices. If you love to play FPS games using a mouse and a keyboard, you can use your computer—even if it doesn’t have the greatest specs. On the other hand, if you’re a controller type of player, then you can simply play on your console. Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and even the next generation consoles all have Fortnite. It’s just a matter of choosing which console you want to go with. But let’s say you don’t have both of those things and you’re always on the go, then playing Fortnite on a mobile device is perfect for you! While the screen may be small and it’s harder to aim using the touch controls on your phone, there are phone gaming accessories that can help you better your experience. What’s more, Fortnite is free to download and play on both iOS and Android devices. Whichever way you choose to play Fortnite, all the options are available for you to seize—just pick which one is the best for you.

4.       Crossplay Enabled

It’s like beating a dead horse at this point, but we’re going to say it: Fortnite has crossplay. If you’re still living under a rock, crossplay means that you can play with your friends who are on different platforms. To give you an example, let’s say your friend is inviting you to play a match together but he/she is only using a mobile device while you’re on your desktop computer. You don’t have to worry about not being able to join, as Fortnite can be played with people on all platforms!

Epic Games always manages to find things to add worthy improvements to Fortnite to make it more spectacular. That alone makes the game worth trying out in 2020. It doesn’t have great graphics and a souped-up sound stage compared to more optimized games, but what it has are cool, over-the-top events, a compact form factor, and crossplay. Besides Fortnite trackers, what do you think will be added next in Fortnite given Epic’s reputation of releasing unique updates? Let us know by leaving a comment below!
