The Game Awards Vote in Fortnite
The Game Awards Vote in Fortnite resides on its own Fortnite Island, where Fortnite players around the world can vote in-game and help The Game Awards celebrate the Best Fortnite Island of 2024. For the first time ever, The Game Awards host, creator, and executive producer Geoff Keighley will appear in Fortnite as a MetaHuman. The Game Awards Vote in Fortnite is a hub world that lets players portal to 10 creator-made Islands that showcase the potential, creativity, and innovation possible in Fortnite. After exploring the nominated islands, players can vote in-game for their favorite as part of a special fan poll. The winner of the fan poll will be announced during The Game Awards, when it streams globally on Thursday, December 12 from Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
In addition to voting, players can venture across The Game Awards map to compete in a target shooting arena, unlocking more powerful weapons between rounds as they level up. The map has leaderboards per round and session, and uses the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN)'s persistence features to retain players' progress across sessions. Fan voting on the island, limited to one vote per Epic ID, will be active until Wednesday, December 11 at 6pm PT. The winning island will be announced both on the island and during The Game Awards on Thursday, December 12. The Best Fortnite Island is a 100% fan-based poll and not an official Game Awards category.
