Fortnite is one of the few games that is available on all major platforms, including mobile, which allows online cross-play. I believe its accessibility, cost, and scarcity of alternatives is what makes it appealing to younger audiences.
The portability of Unreal Engine 4 places Epic Games in a unique position where they can deliver this kind of experience.
- TheGRS 7y agoI think what's kind of odd though is that it didn't happen sooner. Nothing technologically-speaking today is much different than, say, 15 years ago. Other than bandwidth and console-maker's willingness to work with each other for the greater good.

IIRC microsoft tried halo 2 or 3 briefly play testing xbox vs pc, and pc won everytime due to how much more accurate a mouse is vs a thumbstick. In this gen, microsoft finally allowed cross platform play with fortnight and PC players still win every engagement.
- darkcha0s 7y agoExactly this- I don't particularly enjoy the game, however it's an easy way for me to stay in touch with friends who live far away and play on different mediums than PC.
