\n\tWhen Travis Scott performed a virtual concert<\/a> inside the battle royale game Fortnite<\/em> in April 2020, it drew 12.3 million concurrent players at its peak \u2014 the largest in-game gathering in Fortnite<\/em> history. But despite this pull, \u201cmusic has always been a little bit of a one-off\u201d for us, says Nate Nanzer<\/strong>, vp of partnerships for Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve done a concert here, and then a year-and-a-half later there\u2019s another one. We haven\u2019t had a persistent space to celebrate music before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThis changed Saturday (Dec. 8), as the company rolled out Fortnite Festival<\/em>, a music-focused game made in collaboration with Harmonix, the developer behind titles like Rock Band<\/em> and Guitar Hero<\/em>. Players can create a band with friends \u2014 or forge ahead solo \u2014 and perform hits on a variety of virtual instruments. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor almost 30 years now, we have been trying to invent new ways for people to experience music through gameplay,\u201d says Alex Rigopolous<\/strong>, co-founder and studio lead of Harmonix. \u201cWe never had an opportunity to do that on anything like the insane scale that Fortnite offers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
