Apparently, Rocket League and Fall Guys are being ported to Fortnite. Both games currently work on Linux, but in the future, they may require playing through Fortnite (lemmy.ml)

    Fortnite is a massive platform now, not one game with a few modes. They have car racing, the actual fortnite game, Lego survival crafting, all kinds of stuff. It's why the download is 100+GB and every patch is like 50gb.

    The Battle Royale portion is called Fortnite Battle Royale. The true original Fortnite was a sandbox defense game that is now known as Fortnite: Save the World. They are both accessible from the Fortnite lobby.

    Very confusing.

    They're trying to create a Super-app, similar to what WeChat is in China, but for games. Very interesting concept, there's a lot of videos about the concept. Though I detest the idea of centralized apps and accounts therefore more central tracking of you.

    Like Roblox, actually. They are trying to stanch the users' leaking out of their cash cow, but shoving everything in will just piss off the kids when fourth 50+ GB patch hits. As for Rocket League, they already mismanaged it to shit, the levels have lost all flair years ago, new ones are inexplicably ugly.

    What the actual fuck? Glad I quit playing it years ago, cause I like new features but I hate when games stray too far from the original vision (yes I'm aware that BR is a spinoff but you get my point). Why still call it Fortnite, if building forts is no longer a core aspect of the game?
