The team at Epic is excited to announce that Fortnite Battle Royale will be available for FREE beginning September 26!
The Fortnite Battle Royale mode takes the gameplay of battle royale games and adds all of the action-building pieces unique to Fortnite. This 100-player PvP world will allow you to locate weapons and supplies, destroy enemy cover, drop traps, and build your way to victory.
Here’s some general information for questions you may have:
Is Battle Royale really free?
Yes, starting on September 26. We launched a public test and it worked better than we expected. We want the game to reach as many players as possible, so we decided to release Battle Royale for free sooner than we anticipated.
Squads. Where are the squads?
Squads are coming 9/26. We’ll share more details in the Fortnite Release Notes.
Where are the vehicles?
We are prototyping some ideas but don’t know how they will fit into the game. We’ll let you know more soon.
Will you add more maps?
Yes, but not right away.
What else are you working to immediately improve or add?
We’re working to improve the feel of combat, controls, weapons and movement. We’re also working to streamline inventory management.

I bought the game for the PvP Battle Royale mode on PC last week. Since it’s free now, can I have a refund?
Yes. If you purchased Fortnite between Sept. 12 and Sept. 20 to get access to Battle Royale, and you would like a refund, contact us and we’ll give you one. Fortnite Battle Royale will still be available to you for free.
Why did Epic make only Battle Royale free? When will the whole game be free?
We still have a lot of features to add before the PvE campaign is complete. We will launch the Save the World PvE campaign for free in 2018.
Now that Battle Royale is free, does that mean that PvP development is complete?
No. Fortnite is still in development and we will continue to improve and expand both the PvE and PvP game modes.
Does Battle Royale mean that Fortnite is abandoning PvE?
No. The team has big plans and is continuing to add features and develop new modes to play, including the previously announced “Block Party” mode. Stay tuned for some spooky details on our October updates soon.
Will my progress in Fortnite PvE campaign transfer over into Battle Royale?
For now, PvE and PvP are not connected and we don’t know if Battle Royale will eventually connect to the Fortnite Campaign. We are considering cosmetic connections between PvE and PvP and compendium-like content, but we’re still figuring it out. Let us know what you think would be cool.
Will Fortnite Battle Royale be pay-to-win?
No. We will not sell items that give a competitive advantage. At some point in the future we will sell other things including cosmetics or compendium-like content.
What if I want to purchase the Save the World Campaign?
You can purchase a Founder's Pack on PC here or through the PlayStation and Xbox stores.

hatte zwar am Anfang Start Schwierigkeiten weil das Tutorial nicht funktioniert hat aber der Support hat mir da super geholfen.
