“Fortnite,” developed by Epic Games and People Can Fly, has transcended its existence as a mere survival co-op video game to becoming an unprecedented cultural phenomenon. Its blend of creative world-building, akin to Minecraft, and intense survival gameplay, reminiscent of Left 4 Dead, has captured the imagination of gamers and non-gamers alike.

Launched in 2017, “Fortnite” quickly rose to fame with various versions like “Battle Royale,” “Save the World,” and “Creative.” The game became a cultural sensation, drawing in over 125 million players in under a year and generating staggering revenue. But perhaps more telling of “Fortnite’s” success is the presence of a myriad of memes and social media trends, cementing the video game’s mark in the sphere of digital culture.

Posting ‘Fortnite’ wins

When players bragged about their victories on social media, the internet responded with humor. Image macro memes mocking these boasts became rampant, highlighting the community’s playful side.
