Fortnite hosted a psychedelic Travis Scott concert and 12.3M people watched Post a Comment <p>The idea of an in-game Travis Scott concert might seem a little silly — particularly if, like me, you’re not really a Fortnite player.</p> <p>Yes, the popular multiplayer game has hosted <a href="https://news.avclub.com/against-all-odds-travis-scotts-fortnite-event-was-actu-1843035104">other promotional events for movies and music</a>. But even if all this COVID-19 imposed isolation has left you hungry for live performances, why not watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mC3KQse1eY">actual footage of Travis Scott in concert</a>?</p> <div class="piano-inline-promo"></div> <p>What Scott and Fortnite-maker <a class="crunchbase-link" href="https://crunchbase.com/organization/epic-games-2" target="_blank" data-type="organization" data-entity="epic-games-2">Epic Games</a> delivered, however, is a gloriously surreal “astronomical” event, with an enormous, kaiju-sized Scott avatar looming over players and teleporting around the venue while the visuals around him get increasingly psychedelic. It’s something that could only happen in a virtual concert, and that’s what makes it delightful.</p> <p>Plus, the event was viewed by far more people than could ever pack into even the largest concert venue. Epic Games <a href="https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1253524351376330752">said</a> 12.3 million concurrent players participated, a new record for the game.</p> <p>You can watch for yourself in the video above, but if you want to actually interact with a giant Travis Scott while he sings “Sicko Mode,” Epic Games is planning encore events <a href="https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/astronomical">throughout the weekend</a>.</p> <div class="embed breakout"> <blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="SOTwwpSDuP"> <p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/21/epic-games-launches-fortnite-on-the-google-play-store-and-theyre-not-happy-about-it/">Epic Games launches Fortnite on the Google Play Store and they’re not happy about it</a></p> </blockquote> <p><iframe title="“Epic Games launches Fortnite on the Google Play Store and they’re not happy about it” — TechCrunch" class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);" src="https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/21/epic-games-launches-fortnite-on-the-google-play-store-and-theyre-not-happy-about-it/embed/#?secret=SOTwwpSDuP" data-secret="SOTwwpSDuP" width="800" height="450" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"> Baca JugaNintendo’s Mario Game & Watch is a choice gaming stocking stuffer of 2020Nintendo’s Switch dominates US console sales ahead of PlayStation/Xbox launchesGaming startup Statespace raises $29 million, tops 1.5 million MAUs Read More Share : You may like these posts :Gene therapy reverses sight lossVIDEO: Gene therapy could reverse sight lossBrought to you by the letters A and I: Sesame Workshop, IBM developing edtech for pre-schoolersNew EU radar satellite takes first image
