    the beloved Fortnite map that revolutionised battle royale games and perhaps video games as a whole

    I don’t really play multiplayer games, but this seems like a stretch. Can anyone comment on whether or not this is anything but hyperbole (without just saying lol fork knife bad or similar!)

      Fortnight absolutely kicked off the battle Royale phase of recent years. PUBG was coming into it’s own at the same time, but is a more hardcore experience so it didn’t get the viral boom. Fortnight being free to play and fairly casual put wind in it’s sails like Minecraft had, every kid everywhere played it.

        Yeah I know it’s big, but was there anything that “revolutionised video games as a whole” as opposed to just battle royale games?
