Major 2017 Game Becomes Free on PS5 and PS4 A popular game from nearly a decade ago is now available for free on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Fortnite: Save the World, a looter shooter that preceded the free-to-play battle royale version of Fortnite, is set to launch as a free-to-play title on April 16. Players can register their interest in the game now, with the number of registrations influencing the in-game rewards distributed to all participants. Epic Games, the developer behind the title, announced the move, stating that the game, which was originally released in 2017, will welcome new players to its world. Current players will receive special rewards, including Superchargers, Vouchers, and Gold, as a gesture of appreciation for their support over the past nine years. The decision to make the game free follows a recent announcement by Epic about increasing the price of V-Bucks, the in-game currency used to purchase items in Fortnite. While the denominations of V-Bucks will remain unchanged, players will receive fewer V-Bucks for the same price due to rising operational costs. The move to offer Fortnite: Save the World for free is part of Epic’s broader strategy to maintain engagement with its player base. The game’s transition to a free model is expected to attract a new audience while also rewarding existing players for their loyalty. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer, which highlights the game’s features and the updates players can expect. This development comes as part of a trend in the gaming industry where developers are re-evaluating their monetization strategies to adapt to changing player preferences and market conditions. By making a long-standing title accessible to a wider audience, Epic Games aims to strengthen its presence in the competitive gaming landscape.#playstation_5 #vbucks #epic_games #fortnite_save_the_world #playstation_4
