Fortnite Save the World

Fortnite Save the World is a looter shooter survival video game produced by Epic Games, part of the game Fortnite. It is a cooperative and sandbox-style game with elements of tower defense and played in hybrid-third-person, described by Epic as a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead. The game was initially released as a paid-for early access title for macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on July 25, 2017, with plans for a full free-to-play release announced in late 2018. Epic eventually opted to move the game to pay-to-play in June 2020, discontinuing major development on it to focus on the larger Fortnite game, before finally going free-to-play in April 2026, along with release on the Nintendo Switch 2. The retail versions of the game were published by Gearbox Software, while online distribution of the PC versions is handled by Epic's launcher.
