Fortnite’s new season is finally available and it’s got just about everyone talking.
Season 5 sees the introduction of new locations – including a desert outpost – Viking ships, ancient statues and a rather handy All-Terrain Kart.
After several hours of downtime to roll out the update, gamers are already jumping from the Battle Bus in droves to get a taste of the action.
Most players seem really impressed so far…
