Fortnite announces Party Royale as players reach 350 million
Last month the platform hosted live concerts with Travis Scott and Diplo.
The Party Royale will take place this Friday 8 May at 21:00 EDT (01:00 GMT Saturday) with an encore performance the following day.
Epic said it the game had 350 million registered players, who in April collectively spent over 3.2 billion hours in the game. The company has used live concerts as a way of keeping players engaged.
The Party Royale Premiere will return for a rebroadcast. On May 9 from 2 PM to 3 PM ET, you can catch the full show once again at the Main Stage. And just like the first airing, you can still jump in during the show.
Anyone who logs into Fortnite from Friday, May 8 at 6 PM ET to Monday, May 11 at 10 AM ET will get the new, music-reactive Neon Wings Back Bling for free!
Shows at the Main Stage are just some of the many attractions at Party Royale. In this new experimental and evolving space, there are many things to do and places to explore. For example: take on aerial obstacle courses at Skydive Rift, participate in boat races at Fishsticks’ Boat Race, and grab items at The Plaza such as the new Paint Launcher. There are no weapons or mats in Party Royale, it’s all about just hanging out and having fun.
