Epic Games announces Early Access release date for Fortnite on Xbox One, PS4 and PC

-

Best of 2025

You won’t want to take the shelter…you’ll want to make it when Fortnite arrives soon.

Announced today, Fortnite from Epic Games will be arriving as an Early Access title on Xbox One, PS4 and PC come July 25th 2017. A third person action builder, Fortnite will see you creating massive forts and battling hordes of monsters, all while crafting and looting the giant worlds.

No two games will ever be the same and you can see exactly how things will work by hitting up the new E3 gameplay trailer below. It highlights the unique mix of exploration, building, defense, and combat brilliantly.

“Bringing Fortnite to life has been a true labor of love by a talented and dedicated team over many years,” says Darren Sugg, Creative Director on Fortnite. “We’re excited to share the experience and start playing along with more gamers in Early Access this summer.”

Should you like what you’re seeing, then you may wish to get involved with the Fortnite Founders Packs giving entry to the Early Access Season, access to exclusive in-game events in 2017, and offering a huge value on stuff like Heroes, loot, weapons, and in-game boosts. Players who pre-order a Founder’s Pack will get a four-day head start too, with access beginning on July 21, along with the exclusive Storm Master Weapon Pack.

If you prefer the physical over digital, then Epic Games has partnered with Gearbox Publishing to distribute a boxed retail version of the game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.

This game wasn’t on my radar until I saw this trailer. Looks like a mix of Gears Horde mode, Dungeon Defenders and Minecraft.
