NITE TO REMEMBER

A new season of Fortnite is here, bringing game-changing features, challenges and so much more for fans to get stuck into.

While the game evolves and gets more colourful and bonkers with every update, the fundamentals stay largely the same.

At its heart it’s a PG13 shooter, but one that also encourages quick reflexes and promotes problem-solving.

It’s all underpinned by a silly undertone of child-friendly humour.

But the most important thing for parents is that you still don’t have to spend a penny for your kids to make the most of it.

It’s free to download – just as it always has been. Although with the launch of a new season, you might find your kids want you to splash out on the latest Battle Pass.

It’s an added treasure trove of cosmetic content and exclusive challenges.

It won’t make them better at the game but it will let them dress like an anthropomorphic Banana capable of dabbing to the moon and back.

A pass will cost you 950 V-Bucks – around £7.99 in real money. It also unlocks two extra special skins (outfits) which can be “levelled up” over time, with new styles available the more you play.

You can earn up to 1,000 V-Bucks for free just by playing – enough for next season’s Battle Pass, saving you having to put your hand in your pocket again in 10 weeks!
