There’s no denying that Fortnite has earned its spot among the best games of all time. Whether you like the battle royale or not, or maybe prefer something like Apex Legends, the staying power this game has is incredible. The only other game that can be compared to it is Minecraft. Part of its success is the fact that Fortnite is available on just about anything with a screen. That should make it easy to play with anyone you want, but only if it is a cross-platform game. Let’s jump out of the battle bus and see what answers we can find regarding whether Fortnite is cross-platform.

We all thought the next time we saw Marcus Fenix again would be in the prequel Gears of War: E-Day, but it turns out we were treated to a fresh take on the original game first. Gears of War: Reloaded was revealed as a remaster of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which itself was a remake of the original game. If you're lost, all you need to know is this is the first game in the epic saga of burly men cutting monsters in half with chainsaw guns. Alongside Halo, this was the premier multiplayer and co-op experience on Xbox, and all those maps and modes will be back.

How to purchase Reboot Cards in Fortnite
Fortnite Reboot Vans

Since its introduction in Season 8 of Fortnite Battle Royale, the reboot mechanic has been a game-changer for team-based modes such as Duos, Trios, and Squads. When a teammate is eliminated, they drop a Reboot Card, a little chip that floats in the location where they were defeated. Teammates must race against the clock to get the card before it vanishes and deliver it to one of the Reboot Vans positioned throughout the map.

Activating the van takes a tense 10 seconds, restoring the fallen player with only 100 health, a Common Pistol, and 100 wood, leaving them defenseless yet still in the fight. This high-stakes concept adds strategic depth by forcing squads to consider the hazards of retrieving cards while under enemy fire vs leaving an ally to push for a Victory Royale. While Reboot Vans are unbreakable, they make a loud noise and emit a blue light when used, which can attract unwelcome attention and add to the challenge.
