Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode launched all the way back in September 2017, and has since amassed a staggering 350 million players across multiple platforms. There have been 12 seasons, each one bringing a whole raft of cosmetics, costumes, weapons, and dances.
Now coming to the end of the fourth Season of its second Chapter, Fortnite is getting ready to make the leap to Next Gen consoles. The game is currently in the middle of a massive Marvel crossover, with hints that Galactus will be joining the fray soon.
Despite this, the fan community is arguably more excited at the return of their old faithful pickaxes, with the community reddit filling up with posts of affection for the OG axe.
New features for Fortnite on next gen consoles include faster loading, 4K resolution 60fps (on Xbox Series X and Playstation 5) gameplay, enhanced split screen options, and new dynamic visuals and physics, all enabled by the new hardware. A full list of features is available over on Epic Games Fortnite page.
