Playing their favorite game with next generational graphics enhancements is a dream come true for most players. NVIDIA is now bringing its best to Fortnite battle royale. The latest trailer went viral on social media today and from the looks of it, Fortnite will now feel as realistic as possible. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Eg2AfVaX0AAC-Eg-560x315.jpeg] This will only be available for players who are on PC. Additionally, they need to have an RTX graphics card on their device. Ray tracing and DLSS will soon make its appearance as well. For starters, the recent collaboration with Marvel has ensured that there will be several new picturesque POIs. Just as players saw from the current Black Panther POI, Epic is trying to shape them just as they are in the movies. Hence, this new graphics enhancement would make these locations more captivating than ever. RAY TRACING AND DLSS ARRIVING SHORTLY IN FORTNITE [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS_3gm2SISk] The video attached in NVIDIA’s Twitter post [https://twitter.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/1300829098894213120] said, “Hitch a ride on the Battle Bus or collaborate to create your dream world with GeForce RTX.” The tweet also included a video that showed a few distinguishable features that stood out at the first viewing. The apparent contrast difference could be seen when Coral Castle was showed. Similarly, the shot where one can see the vehicles moving past a mirror building showed the quality of reflection in the mirror. Even the reflection on the water surface looked much better than before, and all of this was just a small glimpse at how brilliant things will actually look.

[https://www.essentiallysports.com/has-epic-forgotten-about-competitive-fortnite-esports-news/] PLAYERS HAD A LOT TO SAY ON TWITTER Considering NVIDIA RTX 3070, 3080, 3090 are top-of-the-line hardware, they would need a strong setup to run them. Very few would have the resources to acquire such a device with full specifications on their PC. One wouldn’t like to spend $699 just to play Fortnite or Minecraft. The comments on Twitter suggest that the community is not convinced of this. Only a handful of players and streamers can afford this, and in all fairness, all that glitters is not gold. That might end up being the situation here! 

Considering NVIDIA's big announcement, Fortnite battle royale is set to get
grand enhancements with respect to graphics. Read on to know more!

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-522855" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210121204904/8f9484f10eb14f85a189fb6117a57026-9.jpg" alt="" width="1916" height="1074" />
<h2>What is Fortnite?</h2>
Fortnite is regarded as one of the biggest and most popular games worldwide. The battle royale online video game is practically a survival game where players either team up or go solo. It has three distinct modes, but they share the same game engine and gameplay features.

In Fortnite: Save the World, a maximum of four players can team up to fend off creatures resembling zombies and defend objects by building fortifications made of different materials. It is a shooter-survival co-op game mode.

In Fortnite Battle Royale, up to 100 players combat against each other, trying to out-build and outmaneuver opponents to become the last man standing and secure the victory. It is a free-to-play battle royale mode where players can either jump in alone or in duos and squads.

Meanwhile, in Fortnite Creative, players have the freedom to create their own worlds and battle arenas. It is a sandbox game mode where players can spawn everything within the game on an island.

In 2017, PC Gamer nominated the game for Best Co-op Game<i>.</i> Meanwhile, IGN dubbed it as the Best Spectator Game.

In 2018, the game won the award for Best Ongoing Game by <i>PC Gamer</i> and IGN, the latter of which nominated it for Best Nintendo Switch Game, Best Mobile Game, and Best Action Game.
<h2>History of Fortnite</h2>
<h4>Fortnite Save the World</h4>
Fortnite began in the wake of Gears of War 3's release around 2011. Around that time, the concept of merging construction games and shooter games arose.

It wasn't all smooth sailing, as development slowed due to several issues. This included switching from the Unreal Engine 3 to Unreal Engine 4. Other issues regarded a more in-depth role-playing game approach to extend the game's life, and an art style switch from a dark theme to a more cartoonish style.

Furthermore, when Chinese publisher Tencent bought a large stake in Epic, it led to the departure of several executives. One notable name in that was Cliff Bleszinski, who had played a crucial role in Fortnite<span class="nowrap">'</span>s development.

Ultimately, Epic was able to release <i>Fortnite</i> as a paid early access title in July 2017, with plans to release it as free-to-play, some time in 2019 while gaining feedback from players to improve the game. With the release of <i>Fortnite Battle Royale</i>, the player-versus-environment mode was distinguished as 'Save the World.'
<h4>Battle Royale</h4>
Fortnite's most prominent rival was PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which had become a worldwide phenomenon. Looking at that, Epic Games realized that their own game could also do with a battle royale mode.

So, they rapidly developed their own version in about two months. By September 2017, Epic had released Battle Royal as a second mode from Save the World in the paid-for early access.

However, they later decided to release it as a free game, Fortnite Battle Royale. This version quickly gained over 10 million players during its first two weeks of release. It led Epic to create separate teams to continue the Fortnite Battle Royale development apart from the Save the World mode.

Now encompassing two chapters worth of content, Fortnite's Battle Royale mode is clearly its most successful game-mode. Epic continues to release regular updates and content for the battle royale which keeps the fanbase engaged with the game.
<h4>Fortnite Creative</h4>
Fortnite received a creative sandbox mode on December 6, 2018. In this mode, each player can access a private island to construct buildings and add and manage objects to their pleasing.

Moreover, players can invite friends over to the island and compete in various casual games that they can create themselves. This private island mode gives players the freedom to spawn anything within the game on the island. Therefore, players can create their own games like racecourses, battle arenas, platforming challenges, etc.

The mode came into existence with season 7 of Battle Royale and was initially exclusive to players who had a Battle Pass. However, players without a Battle Pass have access to this game mode for free since December 13.
<h2>When did Fortnite come out?</h2>
Epic Games developed this online video game, and it underwent a release in 2017. While Save the World and Battle Royale modes were launched in early access in 2017, the creative mode hit the servers on December 6, 2018.

In 2021, Fortnite is one of the biggest titles in the gaming world largely due to the success of its battle royale mode. Epic managed to curate two entire chapters of Fortnite content which has managed to keep the game extremely relevant.
<h2>How many people play Fortnite?</h2>
Within a year after release, the Fortnite player base had exceeded 125 million players worldwide, making the game a reverberating success.

Since then, the game has kept booming and has carried on with the momentum. According to Statista, Fortnite had amassed a whopping 350 million players worldwide as of May 2020.

Over time, Fortnite has become a part of popular culture, and the reasons for it becoming a global phenomenon are hard to miss. For starters, the game is free and is widely accessible across most gaming platforms.

It also caters to a broader public who have grown accustomed to the ever-so-popular battle royale genre. Moreover, the cartoonish theme appeals to the younger audience.

The majority of the player base aged between 18-24, according to Statista. Besides that, more than 20 percent of Fortnite players reportedly invest over 16 hours of their time into the game every week.
<h2>On which platforms can you play Fortnite in 2021?</h2>
Fortnite Battle Royale and Creative are available on most platforms. These include PC, macOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices. However, Save the World is only compatible on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and macOS.

The game is also set to become available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X &amp; S with the release of the next-gen consoles. Players can now take their PC experience with Fortnite on the road with Valve's Steam Deck.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Epic Games poster game Fortnite was released back in 2017 as a third-person tactical shooter and it was just what Battle Royale fans needed. For years now, it has been known as a shooting adventure, especially for its Battle Royale mode. And the popularity has only grown since, thanks to all the efforts by developer, Epic Games. This has helped bring an exhilarating lineup of collaborations and celebrity features to the Fortnite island.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Epic Games classic lets the players explore an open-world environment where the purpose is to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-these-ten-expensive-fortnite-skins-sent-fans-on-a-spending-spree/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survive against other characters (skins)</a> through constant combat and some light-hearted graphical violence which has appealed to a lot of young gamers. The arsenal and combat essentials in the open world have only evolved with time and players have been introduced to new innovative load-outs, essentials, features, and movements from time to time. Let's have a look at how Fortnite has progressed as the biggest â€˜third-person-shooter Battle Royale since its infamous launch in 2017.Â </span>
<h2><strong>Fortnite Structure</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In contrast to other multiplayer games, Fortnite features a single, sizable map that is exclusive to that season. In actuality, you won't likely run into too many other players early on in the game. But as the game goes on, a ring on the map gradually gets closer to the center. Your character will perish if you are discovered outside the ring.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Fortnite is comparable to games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Apex Legends. It does, however, have one special quality. In Fortnite, you can build constructions with your character as you go. In the game, this lets you place traps, construct forts, and provide cover. Further, in contrast to other battle royale games, Fortnite requires you to become an expert shooter and builder.</span>
<h2><strong>StorylineÂ </strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">It all took off with the Zero Point or as the game calls it The Big Bang which created the universe spawning in trillions of different realities and among all these alternative realities was the center reality zero aka the Fortnite island. This is the home of the zero point, an island that it created to protect itself from any threat. Well, it worked for a while until a mysterious group called the imagined order found out about it and decided to move to the island.Â </span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2363482 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/fortnite-planes-leak.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="900" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The group created a whole bunch of secret underground bases which they could access through the bunkers. The secret society used Zero point energy to create a loop that forces people to fight against each other for 22 minutes and then it resets their memory. The IO group are the ones looking after the island and keeping everything in order. However, the twist begins when there are multiple attacks on the island by different enemies seeking zero-point energy.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The storyline starts before the time of Battle Royale when Dr Vindermann, the scientist, finds out about some crazy advancements in the science lab called the Vindertech. He was also the creator of V bucks, Battle Pass and all the weapons players can access on the island. Before Season 3, no player was aware of the loop on the island. Also, the original default skins were actually the snapshots of the agents of IO, later explained in the storyline.Â </span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3><strong>The MeteorÂ </strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">On May 1st, 2018, the Fortnite world witnessed its first attack when the meteor struck the center of the map destroying Dusty Divot and the factors while smaller meteors destroyed other structures on the island.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2388617 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/fortnite-meteor.jpeg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The impact also introduced hop rocks, which players could consume to experience low gravity effects. Following this event, the narrative continued to evolve with subsequent seasons. The Zero Point became a central element, leading to events like the butterfly event, the Nexus War, and the ongoing struggle against the Loop. Each season brought new story elements, collaborations, and changes to the Fortnite island.</span>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">
<h3><strong>The CubeÂ </strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400">An official character of the cube, commonly referred to as â€œKevinâ€ proved its vitality in Fortniteâ€™s plot. The smoke monster has been featured since season five when a huge crack opened up in the sky and released it into the island. Therefore, the cube moved across the map creating Runes and visiting diverse places. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">While traveling, the cube switched on Loot Lake, which turned it into a floating one. Ultimately it melted into the lake forming whirlpools taking players to another world. Subsequently, it continued to serve as a center stage in season six where â€œbutterflyâ€ was organized and the cube recurred in other shapes in succeeding seasons.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The mysterious nature behind the cube helped to add mystique and magic to the Fortnite storyline. It also ensured that the events on the island were shaped by the presence of this cube.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Subsequently, Fortnite went on with its storyline which involved different scenarios. At this point, the ZERO PT was made central as The Seven, an ensemble of guys trying to keep the multiverse stable, came into play. This story unfolded in the Butterfly event in Season 6, depicting the clash of various powers.</span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2388620 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/rocket-fortnite.jpeg" alt="" width="680" height="383" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Foundation was added in subsequent seasons and became key during the Zero Crisis Finale that kicked off Chapter 2, Season 6. IO turned out to be one of the major forces struggling with the disorder caused by the Zero Point.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">There were further happenings like the season when the â€œIOâ€ forces invaded and introduced the cube queen whom they had been fighting a continuous war on the loop.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">These two events opened up a whole new realm of possibilities to the island bringing collisions of different universes across the globe to the island. A huge advantage these two attacks on Zero Energy brought was the liberty to bring on many top-tier collaborations to the game.Â </span>
<h2><strong>Notable Collaborations</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As mentioned earlier, a lot of the limelight Fortnite enjoys is attributed to the top-tier lineup of collaborations that have been introduced in the game throughout. From unexpected Easter eggs to some big celebrity skins, there's a never-ending lineup that fans can look back on to celebrate the branding of Fortnite. Let us look at some of the collaborations that still remain the most memorable of all.Â </span>

Epic Games poster game Fortnite was released back in 2017 as a third-person tactical shooter and it was just what Battle Royale fans needed. For years now, it has been known as a shooting adventure, especially for its Battle Royale mode. And the popularity has only grown since, thanks to all the efforts by developer, Epic Games. This has helped bring an exhilarating lineup of collaborations and celebrity features to the Fortnite island.Â  The Epic Games classic lets the players explore an open-world environment where the purpose is to survive against other characters (skins) through constant combat and some light-hearted graphical violence which has appealed to a lot of young gamers. The arsenal and combat essentials in the open world have only evolved with time and players have been introduced to new innovative load-outs, essentials, features, and movements from time to time. Let&#8217;s have a look at how Fortnite has progressed as the biggest â€˜third-person-shooter Battle Royale since its infamous launch in 2017.Â  Fortnite Structure In contrast to other multiplayer games, Fortnite features a single, sizable map that is exclusive to that season. In actuality, you won&#8217;t likely run into too many other players early on in the game. But as the game goes on, a ring on the map gradually gets closer to the center. Your character will perish if you are discovered outside the ring.Â  Fortnite is comparable to games like PlayerUnknown&#8217;s Battlegrounds and Apex Legends. It does, however, have one special quality. In Fortnite, you can build constructions with your character as you go. In the game, this lets you place traps, construct forts, and provide cover. Further, in contrast to other battle royale games, Fortnite requires you to become an expert shooter and builder. StorylineÂ  It all took off with the Zero Point or as the game calls it The Big Bang which created the universe spawning in trillions of different realities and among all these alternative realities was the center reality zero aka the Fortnite island. This is the home of the zero point, an island that it created to protect itself from any threat. Well, it worked for a while until a mysterious group called the imagined order found out about it and decided to move to the island.Â  The group created a whole bunch of secret underground bases which they could access through the bunkers. The secret society used Zero point energy to create a loop that forces people to fight against each other for 22 minutes and then it resets their memory. The IO group are the ones looking after the island and keeping everything in order. However, the twist begins when there are multiple attacks on the island by different enemies seeking zero-point energy.Â  The storyline starts before the time of Battle Royale when Dr Vindermann, the scientist, finds out about some crazy advancements in the science lab called the Vindertech. He was also the creator of V bucks, Battle Pass and all the weapons players can access on the island. Before Season 3, no player was aware of the loop on the island. Also, the original default skins were actually the snapshots of the agents of IO, later explained in the storyline.Â   The MeteorÂ   On May 1st, 2018, the Fortnite world witnessed its first attack when the meteor struck the center of the map destroying Dusty Divot and the factors while smaller meteors destroyed other structures on the island. The impact also introduced hop rocks, which players could consume to experience low gravity effects. Following this event, the narrative continued to evolve with subsequent seasons. The Zero Point became a central element, leading to events like the butterfly event, the Nexus War, and the ongoing struggle against the Loop. Each season brought new story elements, collaborations, and changes to the Fortnite island.  The CubeÂ   An official character of the cube, commonly referred to as â€œKevinâ€ proved its vitality in Fortniteâ€™s plot. The smoke monster has been featured since season five when a huge crack opened up in the sky and released it into the island. Therefore, the cube moved across the map creating Runes and visiting diverse places. While traveling, the cube switched on Loot Lake, which turned it into a floating one. Ultimately it melted into the lake forming whirlpools taking players to another world. Subsequently, it continued to serve as a center stage in season six where â€œbutterflyâ€ was organized and the cube recurred in other shapes in succeeding seasons. The mysterious nature behind the cube helped to add mystique and magic to the Fortnite storyline. It also ensured that the events on the island were shaped by the presence of this cube. Subsequently, Fortnite went on with its storyline which involved different scenarios. At this point, the ZERO PT was made central as The Seven, an ensemble of guys trying to keep the multiverse stable, came into play. This story unfolded in the Butterfly event in Season 6, depicting the clash of various powers. The Foundation was added in subsequent seasons and became key during the Zero Crisis Finale that kicked off Chapter 2, Season 6. IO turned out to be one of the major forces struggling with the disorder caused by the Zero Point. There were further happenings like the season when the â€œIOâ€ forces invaded and introduced the cube queen whom they had been fighting a continuous war on the loop.Â  These two events opened up a whole new realm of possibilities to the island bringing collisions of different universes across the globe to the island. A huge advantage these two attacks on Zero Energy brought was the liberty to bring on many top-tier collaborations to the game.Â  Notable Collaborations As mentioned earlier, a lot of the limelight Fortnite enjoys is attributed to the top-tier lineup of collaborations that have been introduced in the game throughout. From unexpected Easter eggs to some big celebrity skins, there&#8217;s a never-ending lineup that fans can look back on to celebrate the branding of Fortnite. Let us look at some of the collaborations that still remain the most memorable of all.Â   Infinity Gauntlet (LTM)/ Avengers Infinity War: Season 4Â  NFL Cosmetics: Season 6Â  Marshmello Bundle: Season 7Â  Endgame Limited Time Mode/ Avengers Endgame: Season 8Â  John Wick Chapter 3: Season 9Â  Ninja: Chapter 2 Season 1 Deadpool: Chapter 2 Season 2Â  Tenet: Chapter 2 Season 3Â  The Flash: Chapter 2 Season 5Â  Neymar Jr.: Chapter 2 Season 6Â  NBA: Chapter 2 Season 6Â  Naruto: Chapter 2 Season 8Â  Spider-Man: Chapter 3 Season 1Â  John Cena: Chapter 3 Season 3Â  MrBeast: Chapter 4 Season 1 Alan Wake: Chapter 4 Season 4 Invincible: Chapter 4 Season OG  The most recent collaborations include Lewis Hamilton and Stranger Things for the OG Chapter. Also, if the rumors are to be trusted a LEGO collaboration would be following Eminem&#8217;s Big Bang event. Game ModesÂ  Fortnite offers various game modes catering to different playstyles: Fortnite Battle Royale: The most popular mode where 100 players compete to be the last one standing. The game features a shrinking play zone, and players must gather resources, and weapons, and build structures to survive. Creative:Â  A sandbox mode allowing players to build and create their own islands, games, and experiences. It provides a wide range of tools and assets for players to express their creativity. Fortnite Save the World: A co-op player-vs-environment (PvE) mode where players team up to fight against waves of zombie-like creatures. This mode involves resource gathering, building structures, and completing objectives.
