Epic Games sent out emails to all the Fortnite players recently containing an invitation to the Battle Royale game’s latest event. The ‘Reboot a Friend’ event by the developers aims to increase the current active players. Moreover, it also encourages players to compete as duos and squads.

The ‘Reboot a Friend’ event will also offer four different rewards for players who get the “gang back together.”

For the event, players have to invite a friend who quit playing Fortnite, back to the game. Both the player and the friend can earn these rewards as they complete matches together.
