Rocket Racing is a shockingly fun arcade racer built in Fortnite

Having been originally released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and not having received a current generation update, Red Dead Redemption 2 does not support ray tracing, which is a shame, as it would make the game look even more incredible than it already does.

Fortnite must be going through its third awakening right now. I haven’t played a single round of Battle Royale for weeks, and that’s mainly because I can no longer make it past the starting menu without running face-first into a flurry of full-sized spin-offs framed as new game modes. Fortnite Rocket Racing, an arcade racer that mixes ideas from both Rocket League and Fortnite, is one of them – and while it’s very much in its infancy, this barebones first draft is fun enough to call it the beginning of what could become a great standalone racing game one day. But, even with 26 decently-designed maps, seamless integration into Fortnite’s broader progression systems, and easy-to-setup cross-platform multiplayer for up to 12 players, Rocket Racing struggles to stay fresh after you’ve seen through the cracks of its simplistic car handling and questionable multiplayer balance. Even with a great idea at the center of its circuit, it’s difficult to declare this a Victory Royale.

To put it lightly, arcade racers struggle to succeed in this day and age. Big budget attempts are almost extinct, and indie efforts unfortunately rarely make an impact, regardless of quality. What's the answer, then? How can drift-obsessed, arcade racing, petrolheads get their over-the-top kicks? Well, here's one answer — make it a single mode, and stick it in one of the most popular games on the planet.

The outrageously overpriced microtransactions for Fortnite’s new arcade racing game Rocket Racing have dramatically dropped, following robust criticism from the game’s community. Epic Games originally intended to flog a single car for 4,000 V-Bucks, which would cost you around £27.99/$29.99, albeit with leftover in-game currency.

Rocket Arena, the multiplayer rocket-powered shooter, developed by First Strike Games as an EA Originals title, was removed from sale last month without warning or a word on why, as reported by RockPaperShotgun. Now, roughly a month later, First Strike Games has announced Rocket Arena will be sunset and its servers shut down in March. 

Every year, Fortnite is the host of a Winterfest event, featuring an array of festive challenges to complete and free goodies to add to your locker. Although Winterfest 2023 doesn’t feature a log cabin for you to visit, you can still open the gifts that would usually be inside.

Fortnite’s annual Winterfest event is back and all players can earn free rewards and complete festive challenges this holiday season. Below, you’ll find all the quests that are live and how much XP is tied to each one.

Fortnite developer Epic Games has taken to social media to reassure fans that the newly added Lego, Rocket Racing, and Festival modes are not limited-time events, but will be sticking around for the foreseeable future. 

Fortnite Winterfest is a very anticipated event that celebrates the cold festive season. We all want to know when it’ll start, so has it been confirmed?

Fortnite has been consistently supported with regular and meaty content updates for years at this point, but last week, Epic Games went above and beyond and released three entire games within the battle royale shooter in the form of LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. All three games have got off to great starts in terms of reception and player engagement, and according to Epic, they’re all here to stay.

To this day, I love getting together with my buddies and having a jam session in Rock Band 4. So when Epic Games announced Fortnite Festival, I was hyped. But upon finding out there wasn’t support for our plastic guitars and drums, not so much.

If you’re looking to climb up the Fortnite Rocket Racing ranks and rise to Gold and beyond, you’ll need to know just how many ranks there are and what you need to do to improve your rank in the current season.
