Launched in December 2023, Fortnite’s dedicated rhythm game Festival has featured several big-name acts, such as Billie Eilish, Metallica, Snoop Dogg and Lady Gaga.
While Fortnite itself is developed by Epic Games, the Festival game mode is developed by Harmonix – the studio behind the Rock Band video game franchise which was acquired by Epic in November 2021.
The game mode allows players to perform solo or in a band on the main stage, where they can play a rotation of “jam tracks”.
Fans will be able to unlock Bruno Mars jam tracks, including collaborations with Lady Gaga, ROSÉ and Anderson. Paak
By unlocking the season nine Music Pass, fans will be able to unlock Bruno Mars jam tracks, including collaborations with Lady Gaga, ROSÉ and Anderson. Paak, as well as iconic outfits.
Additional premium rewards include the Last Reprise Guitar, modelled after the instrument featured in the Die With A Smile music video, and the Red Hearts Kit Drums.
Season nine also introduces several enhancements to Fortnite Festival, enabling players to browse their music library alphabetically and an all-time leaderboards for individual tracks.
In December 2024, Fortnite drew a record 14.3 million concurrent players for its Remix: The Finale virtual concert featuring Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Eminem, and a posthumous tribute to Juice WRLD.
The event surpassed the previous record of 12.3 million concurrent players set during a Travis Scott concert in April 2020.
