Fortnite is one of the best battle royale games and developed by Epic Games. Fortnite is a game that looks like a combination of Minecraft and PUBG because you can build stuff with a block that is similar to Minecraft including the battle royale, similar to PUBG.
Overall, making this game is awesome to play, and never get bored by playing with its multiple ways of playing modes. Yeah, the mode of Fortnite seems to be very similar to that of Minecraft as it too has a creative mode in which you can build stuff with blocks. Might be possible that Epic Games was inspired by Mojang and PUBG corporation.
The question is,
Is Fortnite Cross-Platform?
Or simply you mean whether Fortnite is cross playable with other platforms or not. Okay, just for simplification, whether Fortnite can be able to be played online with different platforms or not. Lol, am not asking.
Yes, Fortnite is cross-platform or cross playable because Epic Games is not like Sony which always tries hard to restrict the cross-platform feature and due to this, Epic Games deserves applause. After all, its sole purpose is not just to make a decent game and make money, but also to starve more for positive feedbacks from players. Simply, developers of Fortnite are always responsive and transparent.
Is Fortnite partially cross-platform or completely?
What do you think about Epic Games? Would they really go for a complete one?
Yeah, they completely enable the cross-platform feature so that all the users can play together and hence, a great thing for friends to play with, even without the same platform like other games.
This means you can play Fortnite with anyone disrespect of what platform on which they play.
Fortnite's cross-platform features present in:
- PS4
- Xbox One
- Nintendo Switch
- Android phone
- Apple phone
- Microsoft PC
- Apple PC
How to play Fortnite with a friend?
- Make sure you both have accepted a friend request on PS4.
- Open Fortnite.
- Add your friend to the party/lobby by inviting him/her (your friend must be online and showing a green dot on their profile).
So, Fortnite can crossplay (cross-platform) with more platforms than any other game.
Add-on facts:
1. What is cross-platform?
May be possible that you don't know what is the meaning of cross-platform but just came here for the sake of reading (you still have skipped reading some lines).
Cross-platform is a popular word that is being used mostly for gaming purposes as it uses to describe that the game can be played online multiplayer with other users having a different platform.
For example, you have a PS4, and you wanna play online multiplayer with your friend but he/she have Xbox One. Now you and they will have to purchase a game that can be crossplay with PS4 as well as Xbox One, think of Fortnite, Minecraft, etc.
2. What does it mean when Fortnite is cross-platform?
This simply means that Fortnite can be played with users having different consoles/devices. The reason for that makes it an advantage for Fortnite is that one can be able to play on another platform even without have trouble if someone has a different platform
This means, the server would be usually full and there will be a very less probability of a shortage of players while finding the server.
(Yeah, definitely all our pc and console broskis will smash players who are playing on a touch-screen) jk.
No gaming brands would honestly like to make a cross-platform feature in their games and most probably they will cover partial cross-platform.
While Fortnite can have a versus battle with players having touch-screen and players with a 4k tv and PS4 Pro!.
That makes Epic Games a legend. (Remember, once they had even made GTA 5 free of cost)
3. How to cross-play Fortnite with PS4 and Xbox One?
A legit question because you might be thinking about how it can be possible as PS4 has PSN while Xbox One has Gamertag to add players.
Here, you do not need to do anything on the friend list of PS4 and Xbox One, instead, go to the Epic games site, make an account and then add your friend id from there only. Now open Fortnite, sign in.
Conclusion
Fortnite is cross-playable which is just like the bedrock version of Minecraft. So no need to worry about the shortage of players in severs, you will never get bored while playing amidst 100 players every single time you get into the match.
Overall Fortnite is an awesome game with exciting gameplay you will never get bored of. Fortnite can be enjoyed to a great extent when playing with friends, so don't play all alone because this game is free on mobile!
One more thing to be added here is that Fortnite is the only game that I found is lag-free (having the least lags), this game also improves creative thinking, as building blocks to make creative pieces of stuff pressurize the brain.
