‘Fortnite’ is finally available through the Google Play Store

[ad_1] This isn’t the first time Epic has railed against Google’s insistence on a 30 percent take. It pushed for an exemption to the rule and went so far as to call the practice illegal for any platform with a majority of the market. Google rejected the argument, maintaining that its policy lets it “invest” […]

Travis Scott is going on tour in ‘Fortnite’ starting April 23rd

[ad_1] Travis Scott is taking a different approach to virtual concerts in the pandemic era: he’s going on tour in Fortnite. Epic has revealed that the rap star is launching an “Astronomical” experience in the battle royale game that includes both performances and in-game rewards.

Deadpool is Fortnite’s latest playable crossover cameo

[ad_1] Besides the skin, you’ll find a variety of limited-time in-game items to buy, including a fun microwave emote. This being Deadpool we’re talking about, expect to see the mercenary break the fourth wall when you visit the item shop menu and elsewhere. You’ll also want to make sure you make your way to the […]

‘Fortnite’ gets a bullet-stopping ‘Kingsman’ umbrella

[ad_1] The rain-defeating device also works as a melee weapon and even a temporary glider. Just don’t expect to pull off your best Mary Poppins impression — you’ll meet the ground much sooner than you would if you used your normal glider. The same update also introduces an inflatable crash pad that can save you […]

Ninja’s Twitter account was hijacked

[ad_1] Not surprisingly, Ninja wasn’t fazed either. Besides deleting the tweets, he posted a video (below) blasting an “irrelevant” person for grasping in vain for popularity. “Same script every time,” he said, suggesting this wasn’t a particularly sophisticated hijack. The incident wasn’t the first for Ninja. In July of last year, scammers compromised his Instagram […]

‘Fortnite’ Chapter 2 Season 2 is all about secret agents and Deadpool

[ad_1] As you can see from the trailer above, the new update has a distinct spy theme, offering a variety of new covert operatives that include a human-cat hybrid called Meowscles and customizable Maya skin that can be upgraded to look different to any other player in the game.

The latest ‘Fortnite’ emote lets you Rickroll your foes

[ad_1] It’s not uncommon to troll your Fortnite enemies with a victory dance, but the latest one might be particularly insidious. Epic Games has added a purchasable “Never Gonna” emote to the battle royale brawler that, as the name implies, Rickrolls your opponents — complete with the real Rick Astley song (and, clearly, Astley’s permission). […]

The IRS won’t ask you to report ‘Fortnite’ V-Bucks on tax returns

[ad_1] The tax forms won’t clarify matters, though. Schedule 1 in Form 1040 asks taxpayers if they have “any financial interest in any virtual currency” without a definition or an indication of what to do next. While many will check with the IRS for a clarification or simply assume the tax bureau is referring to […]

You’ll need a PS4 to join the next ‘Fortnite’ tournament

[ad_1] No matter where you live, placing in the top 50 percent of players in a given region will receive a tourney-exclusive spray. The top 25 percent in a region will also receive a custom pickaxe, and the elite 5 percent will get tourney outfit. There’s a good chance you’ll have something to show for […]
