Fortnite brings battle royale to the Switch

Will Fortnite threaten any of Nintendo's titles as the most popular game on the Switch? The free to download game is live now and there are plenty of players already trying to be last survivor in this hectic but fun shooter/survival game.

If you're new to the idea, 100 players parachute onto an island, needing to find weapons, ammo, health and construction materials to build defences. Or you can just run around madly whacking people with your pickaxe, all with the aim of being the last person standing.

The game has over 125 million players across PC, mobile and console, and the Switch with its younger age users might be ideal for the non-gory shooter.

What turned out to be very good news for Switch users is causing a right pain for Sony, with many demanding why the game isn't on Vita, and cross-platform players furious that if they used their Epic account on a PS4, it won't work on the Switch version. That's yet another example of Sony's walled garden ruining gaming for people used to interconnecting.

See you in the lake!
