Initial review of cars in Fortnite: they’re awesome

With all of the criticism Epic receives from all aisles, we can all come together and agree that Fortnite got this one totally right

Today is the big day. The day that cars finally get added into the game. While we were supposed to see cars in Fortnite about two weeks ago, they were delayed due to some “critical last second bugs” that needed to be ironed out

And after those bugs were ironed out, we can now see Fortnite’s spectacular final result. You’ve probably came to this conclusion already, but I’ll say it again: Fortnite did not disappoint with this patch

As we went down for the routine downtime, leakers were able to obtain early access to the cars trailer, confirming once again that cars were here for real… Man, that last update gave me some real trust issues

While the sudan “family car” model seems to be the most common car on the map, we already got a glimpse at a far wider variety if you look hard enough. Here’s a clip of Fortnite caster AussieAntics getting jumpscared by a roaring semi at the gas station

More jump scares for my boomer heart.

In addition, we’ve spotted a supercar sitting on a trailer bed that can cruise around 80 miles per hour with ease. Drop in and check out all the cars yourself; we don’t want to spoil everything for you ;)

One other cool add-on that sets the Fortnite car unique to all of the previous vehicles and other battle royale cars is the bumpin’ radio station that comes stock

If you didn’t watch that previous clip to completion, I reckon you double back and listen closer. Yes, that was J Cole on the radio

Fortnite has licensed popular hip hop music from creators that we’ve all come to know and love. 21 Savage, J Cole, Drake, and even select Juice Wrld tracks made the cut

Some songs that are playing in the Cars radio:

- Lucid Dreams, by Juice
- A Lot, by 21 Savage & J. Cole
- Some Drake songs, like Toosie Slide

As with any other licensed music, creators have the option to disable anything that can get them in trouble with Twitch or YouTube copyright infringement. Just head on over to the settings and disable licensed music on the rightmost tab

Right now, I feel like many players are hopping onto Fortnite with a desire to satiate their curiosity - similar to when we all first started playing. With how slow some of the content updates have been since Chapter 2’s release, this is a refreshing change

Additionally, big streamers such as SypherPK that look a migration to Warzone are now engaging with Fortnite again. "Fortnite's taking it to the next level," Sypher said during an initial review
