It looks like the developer of “Fortnite: Battle Royale” (Epic Games) has been working on a new project recently. This project may come as a shock to many players as Epic Games’ new idea is to break down the walls between different consoles, so everyone can Play “Fortnite: Battle Royale” together. It is worth mentioning that this is not the first project that Epic Games has taken on to improve this online multiplayer video game. They have been constantly adding new items and weapons to the game which keeps players intrigued and makes them want to keep playing.
Why does Epic Games want to break down the wall between Xbox and PlayStation users?
Well, what happened here was that Tim Sweeney (who is the founder of Epic Games) said that he personally believes that it is only a matter of time before the wall between consoles comes down, so all players can finally play “Fortnite: Battle Royale” together. To give this some context, he said that for Sony and Microsoft to be supportive of their fans, they should allow the gamers from all consoles to play together.
He even used kids as an example as he doesn’t think it is fair that two kids who are friends can’t play “Fortnite: Battle Royale” together if one has an Xbox and one has a PlayStation. Sweeney was quoted saying: “Like kids in school have their friends, and do you expect this platform schism to divide them into two separate groups that can't play together?” He then answered his own question by saying: “No.
Its got to come together now. That one remaining barrier will inevitably come down." By Sweeny using the word “inevitably,” it has given a lot of gamers hope, as it implies that Sweeney is confident that someday this wall will come down.
Is there any more news on this game?
Now, “Fortnite: Battle Royale” has been all over the news recently, and some of it has been for positive reasons, while some news has also come about for negative reasons.
For instance, because Epic Games constantly updates the video game, these updates can come with issues such as lag and audio problems which result in many gamers becoming angry -- which leads to them refusing to play the game. This created some negative buzz as a result, but that came to an end when Epic Games announced that they were bringing new updates to the game which even included an exciting new game mode. These constant updates keep gamers interested in the game, which is why it is so successful.
