Lego Fortnite

Lego Fortnite is a collection of Lego-based game experiences within the Fortnite platform. It includes the open-world survival video game Lego Fortnite Odyssey and the action-adventure, social game Brick Life. The platform was developed and published by Epic Games in association with the Lego Group, and was first released on December 7, 2023, for Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and on June 5, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Fortnite Festival

Fortnite Festival is a 2023 rhythm game developed by Harmonix and published by Epic Games. In the game, players perform songs while attempting to achieve the highest score possible based on their performance. Each song features four different instruments, and players choose which instrument they want to play, as well as the song's difficulty; higher difficulties change the layout of the songs. A variety of songs can be chosen from, with a free selection that changes daily, as well as the opportunity to purchase songs outright from the Fortnite item shop. Songs range from those composed by Epic Games Sound Team to tracks from popular artists.

Rocket Racing

Rocket Racing is a 2023 racing video game developed by Psyonix and published by Epic Games. It is a spin-off title to the 2015 game Rocket League and is a part of Fortnite as a whole. In the game, up to twelve players compete on a racetrack, with the goal being to be the first person to complete the race. Players can increase their "boost meter", which allows them to gain a speed advantage against opponents, as well as jump over obstacles and drive on walls or ceilings.

Fortnite Battle Royale

Fortnite Battle Royale is a 2017 battle royale video game produced by Epic Games. Part of the overall Fortnite platform, the game follows up to 100 players competing to be the last player or team remaining. Matches begin with players descending onto a large island, where they gather weapons, items, and resources from scattered locations while attempting to avoid damage from other players and a continuously shrinking safe zone. A building system allows players to use gathered resources—wood, stone, and metal—to create temporary structures that can be used for movement, defense, or combat. The game is played from a third-person perspective, with the camera positioned behind the player character's shoulder.

Fortnite Creative

Fortnite Creative, also known as Creative 1.0, is a sandbox game mode developed by Epic Games for Fortnite. It allows players to create worlds with Fortnite assets and publish those worlds into the Fortnite Metaverse. It was released on December 6, 2018, for Android, iOS, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, in November 2020 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and on June 6, 2025 for Nintendo Switch 2.
