Fortnite continues to be a major source of revenue for its creator Epic Games. With its Battle Royale mode offering tons of entertainment for a massive player base working in tandem with other offerings like Fortnite Festival, the platform has allowed Epic Games to collaborate with the best and brightest in entertainment to the delight of its fans.

Featuring multiple skins from a variety of popular franchises and virtual avatars of several celebrities for players to use in-game, Fortnite is a great platform for players to embody their favorite characters from modern popular culture while enjoying hours of entertaining gameplay with their friends.
