Goodness knows how long I would have been looking if I had just started aimlessly scrolling through the sensory overload that hit me upon arrival.
I eventually managed to find the 'Battle Royale' mode in the 'Popular' section of the Browse screen. I do vaguely remember the announcement that you would be able to make your own islands in Fortnite, but I was not expecting the sheer amount of options that are now present. I was looking for something that vaguely resembled a 'Solo' match and I was met with a wash of words I didn't understand, celebrity faces I didn't recognise and more tie-ins than a phase-ending MCU movie could dream up. If, like me, you have also been on a Battle Bus hiatus for the past few years, you might not have seen the game mode screen for a while, so have a look at the screenshot above. But with the game's fifth anniversary on Switch rolling around, I thought that it might be a good time to hop onto the Battle Bus once more and see what had gone down during my extended break. I haven't played Fortnite for four years now, yet a brief look at my Switch playtime displays a triple-digit figure (which, for my own safety, I'd rather keep to myself). The Switch version, however, hit the sweet spot - portable enough to play it on the go, but just large enough that I could pour a good few hours into it without hand cramp setting in.
The online shooter had gone portable in early 2018 with the mobile version, but my chunky thumbs and out-of-date phone meant that was never going to cut the mustard.
When Fortnite first made the jump to Switch five years ago, I couldn't get enough. Today, Jim returns to Fortnite to celebrate the Switch port's fifth anniversary, and he's not sure what he's dropped into.
