Fortnite Battle Royale

Beancounters have started with their annual updates of the money-making machine that is Fortnite and yes, it's still raining mega-money in Epic Megagames. Sensor Tower's report says that Epic made $455 million on Apple's platform in 2018.

Fortnite: Battle Royale is heading Down Under with their latest tournament that will take place at Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne. We're talking about a solos and duos tournament featuring Australia's best players and 100 celebrities.

After allowing him to return to their platform, Twitch has once again permanently banned Australian Fortnite player Luke Munday. The move comes after backlash from people on Twitter who noticed MrDeadMoth streaming after his initial ban.

After realising that the company's social media channels have been communicating a wrong end date for the 14 Days of Fortnite event, Epic announced free Equalizer Glider gifts but now they feel as if it was not good enough of a solution.

Epic's flagship Fortnite is Google's most-searched game of 2018, as was confirmed in Google's Year in Search list. The data is specific to the United States and once again the popular battle royale had a tough competition in RDR2.

In case you've taken your New Year's partying to the max and haven't dropped into Fortnite for a few days, you should know that Epic's second part of the 7.10 content update has added a clever little anti-construction device - the Boom Box.

We first thought of slipping a few Blackjack references and mentioning how Epic are on a roll but them gambling metaphors tend to shed their poetic appeal quite quickly. For what it's worth though, Epic aren't really big on luck either.

Xbox One's Fortnite bundle caused confusion after redditors called out Epic for misleading advertising. The box clearly states that the full game is included, but the bundle was missing Save the World, which is Fortnite's paid co-op mode.

Although one would think that the Epic Games Store would be great news for gamers everywhere, we've already heard somewhat malicious rumours of how all Epic's user data ends up with Tencent - a rumour that's now been refuted from the top.

Epic Games rolled out what should only be the first batch of content from Fortnite: Battle Royale's 7.10 content drop, and to be fair it shows, seeing as how the only novelty it adds is a new type of holiday-flavoured deployable - presents.
