Fortnite is scheduled to launch in full sometime next year as a free-to-play game, and it was recently released in Early Access on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. However, it`s currently only playable if you purchase a paid version of the game. In spite of the fact that it`ll be free next year, Fortnite has already sold a lot of copies.On Twitter today, Fortnite creative director Darren Sugg revealed that over 500,000 people have already purchased one of the game`s paid tiers. It`s currently available in several packs: the $40 standard version comes with access to the game as well as loot packs and cosmetic items. The $60 Deluxe, $80 Super Deluxe, and $150 Limited Editions include more bonuses like additional heroes, weapon packs, and more.The long wait for the game appears to not have dampened player anticipation for it; in fact, if anything, excitement and interest seems even higher because of its delays. Fortnite was first revealed way back in December 2011; since then, it`s gone through numerous revisions, with Epic`s CEO saying in 2016 that `it`s a game that takes time to get right.` Fortnite will officially leave Early Access in 2018, at which point it`ll become a free-to-play game. At this time, it`s unclear how the free-to-play model will work. If you`re interested in jumping into the game now, you can read more about Fortnite`s Early Access tiers here.
