- The latest salvo from Epic comes in form of a 'Free Fortnite' campaign in which they are sending social media influencers a package containing a jacket and a Samsung tablet. The significance here is that the box is designed in white and is said to resemble the packaging that Apple uses.
- Another issue older PCs face with Fortnite is its large installation size. Epic recently reduced the disc space requirement on PC from 90GBs to 31.71GBs, but players can now choose to delete.
As many of you are probably aware by now, Apple and Epic are locked in a legal battle over Fortnite Battle Royale, where Epic seemingly does not want to pay Apple a cut for their in-app purchases. To that end, Epic has gone on to launch several campaigns targeting companies like Apple and Google.

The jacket also comes emblazoned with a logo that is similar in concept to Apple, and also features rainbow stripes that Apple had used in its logo in the past. The 'Free Fortnite' phrase also seems to have been designed using a font that is similar to ones that Apple has used before.

The package also contains a letter that reads, 'Fornite was named the Samsung Galaxy Store Game of the Year for 2020. In celebration, we've teamed up with Samsung to send you a special box of #FreeFortnite gear. While Fortnite may not currently be available on the App Store or Google Play, you can still get the latest Fortnite updates directly from the Epic Games app on the Galaxy Store. Spread the word, #FreeFortnite.'
At the moment, it's anyone's guess as to how this drama with Apple will play out, but if Epic wins, it could set a very interesting precedent for developers moving forwards.

It might be easy to assume that video games are the same in all regions around the world, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In the case of Fortnite specifically, Epic Games' mega-popular shooter is vastly different in China compared to the version that we are familiar with here in the United States.
How To Install Fortnite On Epic Games
For starters, many of the characters and skins that are available in Fortnite have to be altered slightly due to China's guidelines. In short, China doesn't allow anything that could be deemed offensive to appear in video games which means Epic has to find some occasional workarounds. One such instance of this involves the use of skulls or skeletons, which are considered disrespectful in China. So in the case of certain character models, like the newly released Taskmaster skin, Epic has to alter the design so that it doesn't resemble a skull.
While this seems like it might not end up being a major deal, the number of skins in Fortnite that have been affected are pretty high in number. To date, character skins like Crackshot, Menace, Brutus, and Shadow have all been changed in some manner. Mystique's unique Backbling that typically features a skull has also been switched up and is instead just a gold ball. Lastly, skins for Ghost Rider, Skull Trooper, Skull Ranger, and the Peely Bone's alternate costume were never even added to the game altogether.
The major changes to Fortnite in China don't end here, though. Certain limited-time modes have also never appeared in the Chinese version of the game at all, although China has had its own unique events that other regions haven't seen. In addition, Arena mode was never added to the game whatsoever.

Even though Fortnite over in China might sound like a lesser version of the game all around, there is one major benefit that players have in the country. Due to Chinese laws that don't allow loot boxes or microtransactions, V-Bucks are instead given out simply for playing the game. Fortnite for China institutes a sort of bounty system where players can complete objectives to earn the game's currency. In addition, Battle Passes are given out freely to any player who is above level 30. This is one aspect that I'm sure many others around the globe would love to see instituted in Fortnite as a whole.
Last but certainly not least, perhaps the strangest thing in Fortnite's Chinese edition is that the game allows multiple players to win a match of Battle Royale. If a match lasts longer than 20-minutes, all players who are still currently playing are declared winners. To go along with this, if any single player is doing better than others in a match, the game will give them the chance to quit out right then and there while awarding them with a Victory Royale.

It's definitely strange to see how different Fortnite is in other countries, but it'd honestly be nice to see some of these aspects make their way to other regions. Whether Epic Games opts to do that or not remains to be seen, but I likely wouldn't get my hopes up.
