The online game has become one of the biggest success stories in recent years and many of us are totally obsessed with it's infectiously captivating gameplay. Soz bae!
Gaming is one of those things that can easily become an obsession. You can be playing a quick match of FIFA 18 against your mate online and then suddenly five hours later you realise you've missed 72 calls from bae and that pizza you were cooking is now a pile of cremated dust.
Well the newest game that's taking over streaming services everywhere is 'Fortnite'. Whilst it might be fun for some, it's ruining relationships elsewhere, so we thought we'd fill you in on exactly what the heck it's all about and why Drake is all over it...

What Is 'Fortnite'?

'Fortnite' is an online multiplayer survival game that sees players team up to try and defend objectives by building fortifications around them whilst also killing creatures who show up to attack them.
There is also a Battle Royale mode which sees players fighting against each other in a battle to the death. You can get up to 100 players in one game and either go it alone or be part of a four-person team. Thinking about downloading it yet?
Where Can I Play 'Fortnite'?

You can purchase 'Fortnite' on Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC and Mac, whilst you'll also need an internet connection to join other players in the game. You need Xbox Live Gold to play Battle Royale online but you don't need PS Plus. 'Fortnite' is availble to play on PC, however it's not available on Steam.
You can play cross-platform too, so you don't have to worry if you and your mates don't have the same console!
The standard 'Fortnite' game retails at around £34.99 in the UK, whilst the Battle Royal stand-alone version is free.
Does Drake Play 'Fortnite'?
Yes.
