What is Fortnite?
Fortnite is a cooperative survival game from the developers People Can Fly and Epic Games, which was released on July 25, 2017. It is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows and since June 2018 it is even playable on the Nintendo Switch.
The standalone mode called Fortnite Battle Royale was released a short time later on September 26, 2017. With this mode, Fortnite also achieved the breakthrough and is now one of the most successful video games of all time. The game graphics and the game setting itself are particularly interesting for younger players.
The Battle Royale mode of Fortnite is completely free and the game developers therefore offer cosmetic packages. These packages are called bundles or packs and finance the further development and the servers of the popular cooperative game.
The cosmetic items in the bundles offer the players the opportunity to customize their game character. So you can not only stand out from the masses of other players, but also wear the outfit of your favorite hero. The game makers create new skins for Fortnite from time to time to show, for example, a Christmas look. But there are also costumes that remind of superheroes or futuristic armor in the bundles.
