With Fortnite Festival Season 1, as well as the Festival Pass for Season 1, nearing its end on February 22, it seems like the Festival's current season has one last treat for players. This comes in the form of an exclusive debut of the music video for the viral hit Popular by The Weeknd, featuring rapper Playboi Carti and pop music icon Madonna.
The song was created for the HBO show The Idol, which featured The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp in the lead roles. Popular became a viral hit not just due to its infectious bounce and vibe, but also The Weeknd's collaboration with Fortnite Festival.
And now, it seems like the artist is taking full advantage of his collaboration with Epic Games by bringing this music video's exclusive debut to the virtual landscape.
