Fortnite developers Epic Games have revealed the rewards and challenges added to the Battle Royale for its 6th Birthday event.

It has become something of a custom for Fortnite to add celebratory content when the game’s birthday rolls around.

While it doesn’t necessarily dominate streaming platforms like it once did, Fortnite has millions of fans around the world who will be incredibly keen to dive into its birthday content and get everything Epic is offering up.

Fortnite 6th Birthday Challenges

The Birthday event challenges are now live in-game, ready to be completed as soon as you can for the exclusive rewards.

These new challenges sound difficult at first, but are fairly simple and can be completed rather quickly. So players shouldn’t need too much help or guidance in ticking these off.
