The most popular game of the year, "Fortnite: Battle Royale", is a free download, but that did not stop the retailers from rushing.

But make no mistake: "Fortnite" is a free download and probably always will be. When selling V-Bucks, a coin in play, "Fortnite" earns money and does not charge the game itself.

This does not mean that "fortnite" packages have no value. The included V-Bucks can help unlock paid content in the game. However, buyers should know that the game is free without financial investment.
