What is Fortnite Party Royale?

Fortnite Party Royale is a first of its kind, experimental and evolving space, which seeks to provide players with an opportunity to meet up with friends and have a good time, without the competitive element of the game getting in the way.

It is a no-violence zone, where players can watch movies, listen to music and participate in various leisure activities and games. It also hosts elaborate virtual concerts where the likes of Steve Aoki, Travis Scott and Marshmello have all performed in the past.

Featuring a grand musical arena known as the Main Stage, players can tune in live and watch their favourite artists perform, which often makes for an experience of a lifetime.
