Rating Summary
Fortnite Battle Royale is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Animated Blood, Lyrics, and Violence. Also includes Users Interact and In-Game Purchases. This is a survival action game in which players compete in battle royale-style competitions to be the last person or team standing. From a third-person perspective, players gather supplies, build forts, and battle enemies on a shrinking battlefield. Players use pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, and melee weapons (e.g., axes, swords) to fight opposing players in ranged and close-quarter combat. Battles are fast-paced, highlighted by realistic gunfire and impact sounds. Some sequences allow players to enter a first-person view of combat (e.g., aiming through a scope). Some live events can cause enemy creatures and giant insects to appear within the game; creatures sometimes emit purple blood splashes when shot and killed. Some accompanying song lyrics contain the words “d*ck” "b*tch," and "a*s"; other song lyrics contain references to drugs (e.g., "I had to serve crack”).
