Fortnite
Fortnite is an online video game made by Epic Games, first released in 2017. It has different versions: Fortnite Battle Royale, a free game where up to 100 players fight to be the last one standing; Fortnite: Save the World, a cooperative game where up to four players fight zombies and build defenses; and Fortnite Creative, where players can create their own worlds and battles.
Save the World and Battle Royale started in 2017 as early access games, and Creative came later in December 2018. Battle Royale became hugely popular, with over 125 million players in less than a year, making a lot of money each month. By December 2019, Fortnite made $9 billion in revenue and is considered one of the best games ever.
Save the World works on macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. Battle Royale and Creative are on those platforms plus Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch. The game also came out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Players should log into Fortnite and navigate to the Discover screen. Look for the event titled "Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury." This will allow players to join the interactive concert experience.

How to Watch the Metallica Show in Fortnite?
To watch the Metallica concert in Fortnite, players need to access a specific experience rather than entering the usual Battle Royale game mode or the Fortnite Festival. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Open Fortnite and go to the Discover screen: This screen is located directly below the lobby where players usually wait for a game to start.
- Scroll through the Discover screen: Look for the name of the event, which will be titled "Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury," according to the official blog post by Epic Games.
- Select the event when it goes live: The Metallica concert will be available through this entry on the Discover screen at one of the designated showtimes.
By following these steps, players will be able to join the Metallica concert event and enjoy the special performance within Fortnite.

- Fortnite: Save the World: Players team up to complete missions, gather resources, and defend against storms.
- Fortnite Battle Royale: Up to 100 players fight to be the last one standing, scavenging for weapons and avoiding a shrinking safe zone.
- Lego Fortnite: A survival sandbox where players, such as Lego Minifigs, collect materials, build, and battle monsters.
- Rocket Racing: A racing spin-off from Rocket League, where players race vehicles, use boosts, and navigate tricky courses.
- Fortnite Festival: A rhythm game by Harmonix where players play rock songs in the "Main Stage" and collaborate to remix in the "Jam Stage".

Most modes are free-to-play except Save the World, which requires purchase. Players can use V-Bucks, earned or bought, for in-game purchases like cosmetic items across all modes. All modes support cross-platform play with an Epic Games account for saving progress.
