Even though it was leaked a few weeks ago, Nintendo officially announced today, during their Nintendo Direct: E3 2018 presentation, that the global phenomenon known as Fortnite is now available for the Switch.
As you might have guessed the battle royale game is free to download through the Nintendo eShop, and it offers the same 100-player mayhem that it does on other platforms. In fact, Switch owners can even cross-play against Fortnite players on the PC, Mac, Xbox One, and iOS:
Jump in to be the last one standing in the free 100-player Battle Royale. Build huge forts. Outwit your opponents. Earn your Victory. Squad up together online with friends in the same room or around the world!
