You can also Tweet, to invite the developer to complete our accessibility questionnaire.Fortnite is an online multiplayer shooting game where 100 people compete to be the last player standing. You stealthily traverse the world to collect weapons, out-maneuvering and out-gunning your opponents, while a storm gradually shrinks the playable area. It stands out not only for popularising the battle-royale all-against-one genre but for how intelligent base-building and fieldcraft are just as important as quick reactions and fast shooting.
Our accessibility examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Fortnite (Fortnite) accessibility 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Andy Robertson and updated 4 days ago.
