Why is it Called Fortnite?
It's a play on the word 'fortnight', which means two weeks, and 'fort', since building forts is a big part of the game!

They named it Fortnite because you build forts to survive the night against enemies. Pretty clever, huh?

As someone who鈥檚 been playing since the beginning, it's a mix of the words 'fort' and 'night.' You build forts to protect yourself overnight in the game. Simple and fun!
