Fortnite's Winterfest event blankets the island in snow, offering players festive quests and rewards from the Cozy Cabin. Beyond the holiday cheer, Fortnite boasts collaborations with Cyberpunk 2077, Batman Ninja, and more. The OG mode also receives attention.
A recent hotfix for Fortnite's OG mode marks the return of the Launch Pad, a nostalgic item from Chapter 1, Season 1. This classic traversal tool provided players with aerial mobility for strategic advantages.
