Fortnite: Save the World, the game that spawned Epic's money-printing battle royale, still exists, and after nearly a decade it's going free to play. The game, which was released in early access in 2017, has been revamped and is now set to be free to play in April 2026.

The game's transition to free-to-play is a significant move for Epic Games, as it will allow players to access the game without having to purchase it. This could potentially attract new players to the game and increase its player base.

Save the World is a survival game where players must work together to build fortresses and defend against hordes of zombies. The game has a strong focus on building and crafting, and players can collect resources to build and upgrade their fortresses.
