Fortnite Birthday Celebration Offers Special Rewards

Birthday back bling and other goodies are up for grabs during Fortnite’s Birthday Celebration.

Although Fortnite is known for its Battle Royale mode, the main base-building game (now known as Save the World) premiered on July 25, 2017. To celebrate Fortnite’s first birthday, Epic Games will be releasing a new limited-time birthday event that offers players the chance to unlock additional bonus XP and new birthday-themed cosmetic items.
