Accessing the new game mode involves launching the free-to-play Fortnite on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch.

Fortnite features multiple game modes, notably the online battle royale with up to 100 players.

Initially, Fortnite included "Fortnite: Save the World" crafting mode before the battle royale's dominance.

Battle Royale's immense popularity shifted its identity to an online shooter with crafting.

The collaboration reconnects Fortnite to its roots but goes beyond a mere facelift.
