Software-update: Fortnite 4.4.0

Fortnite is een 'co-op survival sandbox game' van ontwikkelstudio Epic Games. De grafische stijl is cartoony en doet denken aan de stijl van games als Team Fortress. Dat legt automatisch de nadruk op spelplezier. Er zijn twee modi in het spel: de door een verhaal gedreven modus 'Save the World', waarvoor momenteel nog betaald moet worden, en de gratis 'Battle Royale'-modus, waarin je het opneemt tegen andere spelers. Het spel kan gespeeld worden op Windows, macOS, de Xbox One en de PlayStation 4. Voor meer informatie verwijzen we naar onze beknopte review. De ontwikkelaars hebben Fortnite 4.4.0 uitgebracht, met de volgende aankondiging:
