Population: One - Wikipedia
Population: One was released on October 22, 2020. Population: One. Game Cover. Developer(s), BigBox VR, Inc.
Fortnite
The gameplay is similar to other VR shooters and battle royale games. Players form teams known as "squads" consisting of three (or more, depending on the game mode). Each squad combats with one another until only one remains standing. The basic mechanics are similar to Epic Games's <anchor>Fortnite</anchor>, with players able to collect and use weapons and other items used to heal and kill players. In the case of Population: One, the player can climb every object, structure, or geographic feature encountered on the map. The player can also glide across the map from the height to which they climbed. Together, these mechanics form the basis of the game's vertical combat system.[2][3]

June 25, 2024

_**Fortnite**_ is an [online video game](/wiki/Online_game "Online game") and game platform developed by [Epic Games](/wiki/Epic_Games "Epic Games") and released in 2017. It is available in six distinct game mode versions that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine: _[Fortnite Battle Royale](/wiki/Fortnite_Battle_Royale "Fortnite Battle Royale")_, a free-to-play [battle royale game](/wiki/Battle_royale_game "Battle royale game") in which up to 100 players fight to be the last person standing; _[Fortnite: Save the World](/wiki/Fortnite:_Save_the_World "Fortnite: Save the World")_, a cooperative hybrid [tower defense](/wiki/Tower_defense "Tower defense")- [shooter](/wiki/Shooter_game "Shooter game") and [survival](/wiki/Survival_game "Survival game") game in which up to four players fight off [zombie](/wiki/Zombie "Zombie")-like creatures and defend objects with traps and fortifications they can build; and _[Fortnite Creative](/wiki/Fortnite_Creative "Fortnite Creative")_, in which players are given complete freedom to create worlds and battle arenas, _[Lego Fortnite](/wiki/Lego_Fortnite "Lego Fortnite")_, an [open world](/wiki/Open_world "Open world") survival game, _[Rocket Racing](/wiki/Rocket_Racing "Rocket Racing")_, a [racing](/wiki/Racing_game "Racing game") game, and _[Fortnite Festival](/wiki/Fortnite_Festival "Fortnite Festival")_, a [rhythm](/wiki/Rhythm_games "Rhythm games") game.

_Save the World_ and _Battle Royale_ were released in 2017 as [early access](/wiki/Early_access "Early access") titles, while _Creative_ was released on December 6, 2018.
While the _Save the World_ and _Creative_ versions have been successful for Epic Games, _Fortnite Battle Royale_ in particular became an overwhelming success and a [cultural phenomenon](/wiki/Cultural_phenomenon "Cultural phenomenon"), drawing more than 125 million players in less than a year, earning hundreds of millions of dollars per month. _Fortnite_ as a whole generated $9 billion in gross revenue up until December 2019, and it has been listed among the [greatest games of all time](/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered_the_best "List of video games considered the best").

_Save the World_ is available for [macOS](/wiki/MacOS "MacOS"),[\[c\]](#cite_note-apple_lawsuit-4) [PlayStation 4](/wiki/PlayStation_4 "PlayStation 4"), [Windows](/wiki/Windows "Windows"), and [Xbox One](/wiki/Xbox_One "Xbox One"), while _Battle Royale_ and _Creative_ were released for all those platforms as well as [Android](/wiki/Android_(operating_system) "Android (operating system)") and [iOS](/wiki/IOS "IOS") devices[\[c\]](#cite_note-apple_lawsuit-4) and [Nintendo Switch](/wiki/Nintendo_Switch "Nintendo Switch"). The game also launched with the release of the ninth-generation [PlayStation 5](/wiki/PlayStation_5 "PlayStation 5") and [Xbox Series X/S](/wiki/Xbox_Series_X/S "Xbox Series X/S") consoles. Furthermore, _Lego Fortnite_, _Rocket Racing_ and _Fortnite Festival_ are available on all platforms.

## Game modes

_Fortnite_ has multiple game modes, using the same engine; each has similar graphics and art assets. Five of these modes are directly created and managed by Epic Games and its subsidiaries:

- _[Fortnite: Save the World](/wiki/Fortnite:_Save_the_World "Fortnite: Save the World")_ is a player-versus-environment [cooperative game](/wiki/Cooperative_video_game "Cooperative video game"), with four players collaborating towards a common objective on various missions while avoiding the effects of an encroaching cataclysmic storm. The players take the role of commanders of home base shelters, collecting resources, saving survivors, and defending equipment that helps to either collect data on the storm or to push back the storm. From missions, players are awarded a number of in-game items, which include hero characters, weapon and trap schematics, and survivors, all of which can be leveled up through gained experience to improve their attributes.
- _[Fortnite Battle Royale](/wiki/Fortnite_Battle_Royale "Fortnite Battle Royale")_ is a player-versus-player game for up to 100 players, allowing one to play alone, in a duo, or in a squad (usually consisting of three or four players). Weaponless players [airdrop](/wiki/Skydive "Skydive") from a "Battle Bus" that crosses the game's map, and then scavenge for weapons, items, and resources while trying to stay alive and to attack and eliminate other players. Over the course of a round, the safe area of the map shrinks down in size due to an incoming toxic storm; players outside that threshold take damage and can be eliminated if they fail to quickly evacuate. This forces remaining players into tighter spaces and encourages player encounters until the last player or team is alive.
- _[Lego Fortnite](/wiki/Lego_Fortnite "Lego Fortnite")_ is a [survival](/wiki/Survival_game "Survival game") sandbox game, where players play as Lego [Minifig](/wiki/Lego_minifigure "Lego minifigure") versions of characters, as they collect materials, build various buildings, craft various weapons and tools and fight against monsters.
- _[Rocket Racing](/wiki/Rocket_Racing "Rocket Racing")_ is a [racing](/wiki/Racing_game "Racing game") game, developed by [Psyonix](/wiki/Psyonix "Psyonix") and serving as a spin-off title to _[Rocket League](/wiki/Rocket_League "Rocket League")_. Players race vehicles, gaining speed boosts from special lanes sections or by [drifting](/wiki/Drifting_(motorsport) "Drifting (motorsport)"), as well as the ability to jump and racing on vertical and inverted surfaces, while avoiding obstacles on the course.
- _[Fortnite Festival](/wiki/Fortnite_Festival "Fortnite Festival")_ is a [rhythm game](/wiki/Music_video_game "Music video game") developed by [Harmonix](/wiki/Harmonix "Harmonix"), consisting of three modes. In the "Main Stage", players play popular hit songs and original tracks created by Harmonix and the Epic Games Sound Team, hitting notes to the rhythm in the Main Stage on one of the four unique parts: Lead, Guitar/Bass, Drums and Vocals, in a manner similar to Harmonix's _[Rock Band](/wiki/Rock_Band "Rock Band")_ games, while the "Battle Stage" pits sixteen players to get the highest score and survive each round until one player remains.[\[4\]](#cite_note-7) In the "Jam Stage", players cooperate to make remixes, similar to Harmonix' _[Dropmix](/wiki/Dropmix "Dropmix")_ and _[Fuser](/wiki/Fuser_(video_game) "Fuser (video game)")_, using any part of any song within _Festival_ mode, in which are also usable in _Battle Royale_, _Creative_ and Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).

In addition to these modes, _Fortnite_ offers the [sandbox](/wiki/Sandbox_game "Sandbox game") mode, _[Fortnite Creative](/wiki/Fortnite_Creative "Fortnite Creative")_. Within this mode, players are given complete freedom to spawn any item from the Battle Royale gamemode on a personal island, and can create games such as battle arenas, race courses, [platforming](/wiki/Platform_game "Platform game") challenges, and more. Furthermore, it also supports Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), which allows players to edit worlds using _Fortnite_ assets. _Creative_ and UEFN also allows players to create custom _[Fall Guys](/wiki/Fall_Guys "Fall Guys")_ games which can be accessible within the _Fortnite_ launcher.

All modes except _Save the World_ are [free-to-play](/wiki/Free-to-play "Free-to-play"); _Save the World_ is [pay-to-play](/wiki/Pay-to-play "Pay-to-play").[\[5\]](#cite_note-8)The games are [monetized](/wiki/Video_game_monetization "Video game monetization") through the use of V-Bucks, in-game currency that can be purchased with real-world funds, but also earned through completing missions and other achievements in _Save the World_.[\[6\]](#cite_note-9) In other modes, V-Bucks can be used to buy cosmetic items such as character models or the game's [battle pass](/wiki/Battle_pass "Battle pass"), a tiered progression of customization rewards for gaining experience and completing certain objectives during the course of a _Battle Royale_ season.[\[7\]](#cite_note-10)[\[8\]](#cite_note-11) All modes of _Fortnite_ are [cross-platform play](/wiki/Cross-platform_play "Cross-platform play") compatible, requiring users to use an Epic Games account for cross-saving between platforms.[\[9\]](#cite_note-12)

## Development history

### _Fortnite: Save the World_ (2011–2017)

Main article: [Fortnite: Save the World § Development](/wiki/Fortnite:_Save_the_World#Development "Fortnite: Save the World")

_Fortnite_ began from an internal [game jam](/wiki/Game_jam "Game jam") at Epic Games following the publishing of _[Gears of War 3](/wiki/Gears_of_War_3 "Gears of War 3")_ around 2011. Though it was not initially one of the developed titles during the jam, the concept of merging the construction game genre, representing games like _[Minecraft](/wiki/Minecraft "Minecraft")_ and _[Terraria](/wiki/Terraria "Terraria")_, and shooter games arose, leading to the foundation of _Fortnite_.[\[10\]](#cite_note-polygon_march2014-13)[\[11\]](#cite_note-gi_2014_retrospective-14) Development of _Fortnite_ slowed due to several issues, including switching from the [Unreal Engine](/wiki/Unreal_Engine "Unreal Engine") 3 to Unreal Engine 4, a deeper [role-playing game](/wiki/Computer_role-playing_game "Computer role-playing game") approach to extend the life of the game, and a switch of art style from a dark theme to a more cartoonish style. Further, Epic was looking to get into the [games as a service](/wiki/Games_as_a_service "Games as a service") model, and brought in Chinese publisher [Tencent](/wiki/Tencent "Tencent") to help; Tencent took a large stake in Epic as part of this, leading to the departure of several executives, including [Cliff Bleszinski](/wiki/Cliff_Bleszinski "Cliff Bleszinski"), who had been a key part of _Fortnite_'s development. _Fortnite_'s approach was changed to be Epic's testbed for games as a service, and further slowed the development.[\[12\]](#cite_note-pcgamesn_jun2017-15)[\[11\]](#cite_note-gi_2014_retrospective-14)[\[13\]](#cite_note-16)

Epic was able to prepare to release _Fortnite_ as a paid early access title in July 2017, with plans to release it as free-to-play sometime in 2019 while gaining feedback from players to improve the game.[\[14\]](#cite_note-glixed_gdc2018-17)[\[15\]](#cite_note-earlyaccess-18)[\[16\]](#cite_note-19)[\[17\]](#cite_note-20) With the release of _Fortnite Battle Royale_, the player-versus-environment mode was distinguished as "Save the World". Ultimately, Epic opted to release _Save the World_ as a premium title, bringing it out of early access on June 29, 2020.[\[18\]](#cite_note-21)

### _Fortnite Battle Royale_ (2017–2018)

Main article: [Fortnite Battle Royale § Development](/wiki/Fortnite_Battle_Royale#Development "Fortnite Battle Royale")

Near the same time that Epic released _Fortnite_ into early access, _[PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds](/wiki/PlayerUnknown%27s_Battlegrounds "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds")_ had become a worldwide phenomenon, having sold over 5 million copies three months from its March 2017 release, and drawing strong interest in the battle royale genre. Epic recognized that with the _Fortnite_ base game, they could also do a battle royale mode, and rapidly developed their own version atop _Fortnite_ in about two months.[\[19\]](#cite_note-22) By September 2017, Epic was ready to release this as a second mode from "Save the World" in the paid-for earlier access, but then later decided to release it as a free game, _Fortnite Battle Royale_, supported with microtransactions. This version quickly gained players, with over 10 million players during its first two weeks of release, and leading Epic to create separate teams to continue the _Fortnite Battle Royale_ development apart from the _Save the World_ version, outside of common engine elements and art assets.[\[20\]](#cite_note-ign_devvideo-23)[\[21\]](#cite_note-pcgamer_gdc_2018-24) This allowed _Fortnite Battle Royale_ to expand to other platforms otherwise not supported by _Save the World_, including iOS and Android mobile devices and the Nintendo Switch.[\[22\]](#cite_note-25)[\[23\]](#cite_note-26)

### _Fortnite Creative_ (2018–2023)

Main article: [Fortnite Creative § Development](/wiki/Fortnite_Creative#Development "Fortnite Creative")

A creative [sandbox](/wiki/Sandbox_game "Sandbox game") mode launched on December 6, 2018, synchronized with the start of season 7 of _Fortnite Battle Royale_. Each player has access to a private, persistent island on which they construct buildings and add and manipulate objects as desired. Players are able to invite friends to this island and participate in unofficial games such as race tracks or jumping courses.[\[24\]](#cite_note-27) Only players who purchased the battle pass initially received their own island, but a week later, on December 13, players who did not purchase it received access to the game mode for free.[\[25\]](#cite_note-28)

### _Fortnite Experiences_ (2023–present)

In March 2023, Epic released the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), a standalone editor for Windows. UEFN allows creators to use the Unreal Editor with features of Unreal Engine 5 and _Fortnite_ assets in developing new modes within the _Fortnite Creative_ mode; this mode was called "Creative 2.0".[\[26\]](#cite_note-29)

In October 2023, Epic redesigned the main _Fortnite_ client to present Epic's own various modes as well as the numerous creative modes as part of _Fortnite Experiences_, comparable to _[Roblox](/wiki/Roblox "Roblox")_ in presentation.[\[27\]](#cite_note-30) This was followed by the introduction of three new Epic-developed modes for the game in December 2023: _[Lego Fortnite](/wiki/Lego_Fortnite "Lego Fortnite")_, a [survival game](/wiki/Survival_game "Survival game") developed in conjunction with [The Lego Group](/wiki/The_Lego_Group "The Lego Group"), _Rocket Racing_, an arcade-style driving game developed by [Psyonix](/wiki/Psyonix "Psyonix"), and _[Fortnite Festival](/wiki/Fortnite_Festival "Fortnite Festival")_, a [rhythm game](/wiki/Rhythm_game "Rhythm game") developed by [Harmonix](/wiki/Harmonix "Harmonix"). Each mode was introduced as free-to-play, interfacing with the game's battle pass system, and offering new rewards associated with those modes.[\[28\]](#cite_note-31)

Numerous improvements in UEFN were announced in March 2024, including the addition of Unreal Engine's MetaHuman character rendering technology, and more assets from Lego, _Rocket Racing_, and _[Fall Guys](/wiki/Fall_Guys "Fall Guys")_. Epic also stated their intent to have future _Fortnite Battle Royale_ seasons starting in late 2025 to be developed in UEFN.[\[29\]](#cite_note-32)

The _Save the World_ mode achieved over one million players by August 2017, just prior to the release of _Battle Royale_.[\[30\]](#cite_note-33)

_Fortnite Battle Royale_ became a significant financial success for Epic Games, leading them to separate the teams between _Save the World_ and _Battle Royale_ to provide better support for both modes. Within two weeks of release, over 10 million players had played the mode,[\[31\]](#cite_note-34) and by June 2018, just after the Nintendo Switch release, had reached 125 million players.[\[32\]](#cite_note-35) Revenue from _Fortnite Battle Royale_ during the first half of 2018 had been estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars per month,[\[33\]](#cite_note-36)[\[34\]](#cite_note-37) with total 2018 revenue estimated at $2.4 billion by analysis firm SuperData Research.[\[35\]](#cite_note-38) Total revenue for _Fortnite_ reached more than $9 billion by the end of 2019.[\[36\]](#cite_note-39)

_Fortnite Battle Royale_ has also become a [cultural phenomenon](/wiki/Cultural_phenomenon "Cultural phenomenon"),[\[37\]](#cite_note-40) with several celebrities reporting they play the game, and athletes using _Fortnite_ [emotes](/wiki/Emote "Emote") as victory celebrations.[\[38\]](#cite_note-41) A notable [streaming](/wiki/Video_game_live_streaming "Video game live streaming") event in March 2018, with streamer [Ninja](/wiki/Ninja_(streamer) "Ninja (streamer)") playing _Fortnite Battle Royale_ alongside [Drake](/wiki/Drake_(musician) "Drake (musician)"), [Travis Scott](/wiki/Travis_Scott "Travis Scott"), [Kim DotCom](/wiki/Kim_Dotcom "Kim Dotcom"), and [Pittsburgh Steelers](/wiki/Pittsburgh_Steelers "Pittsburgh Steelers") wide receiver [JuJu Smith-Schuster](/wiki/JuJu_Smith-Schuster "JuJu Smith-Schuster"), broke viewership records for [Twitch](/wiki/Twitch_(service) "Twitch (service)") to date, and led to Epic arranging a _Fortnite Battle Royale_ [pro–am](/wiki/Pro%E2%80%93am "Pro–am") with 50 pairs of streamers and professional players matched with celebrities at [E3 2018](/wiki/E3_2018 "E3 2018") in June 2018.[\[39\]](#cite_note-42)[\[40\]](#cite_note-43)[\[41\]](#cite_note-44) Epic Games has developed organized [esports](/wiki/Esports "Esports") competitions around _Fortnite Battle Royale_, such as the inaugural US$30 million [Fortnite World Cup](/wiki/Fortnite_World_Cup "Fortnite World Cup") tournament that took place in July 2019[\[42\]](#cite_note-45)[\[43\]](#cite_note-46) and the Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS), the latter of which would be organized by Epic Games in 2020 and 2021 before being organized by Blast ApS from 2022 onwards.

There has also been growing concern over _Fortnite Battle Royale_'s draw toward young children, emphasized with the release of the mobile client. Parents and teachers had expressed concern that students are being distracted and drawn away from school work due to playing _Fortnite_.[\[44\]](#cite_note-47) Concerns have also been raised about the impact that playing a game involving repeated depictions of gun violence may have on young children.[\[45\]](#cite_note-48)[\[46\]](#cite_note-49)

### Awards

In 2017, the game was nominated for "Best Co-op Game" by _[PC Gamer](/wiki/PC_Gamer "PC Gamer")_,[\[47\]](#cite_note-50) and for "Best Spectator Game" by [IGN](/wiki/IGN "IGN").[\[48\]](#cite_note-51) In 2018, the game won the award for Best Ongoing Game by _PC Gamer_[\[49\]](#cite_note-52) and IGN,[\[50\]](#cite_note-53) the latter of which nominated it for "Best Nintendo Switch Game", "Best Mobile Game", and "Best Action Game".[\[51\]](#cite_note-54)[\[52\]](#cite_note-55)[\[53\]](#cite_note-56)

The iOS version returned for European users via the Epic Game Store following its launch in Europe on August 16, 2024. The macOS client of both _Battle Royale_ and _Save the World_, while downloadable, will not be able to be updated as well due to app signing restrictions. See _[Epic Games v.
