Fortnite - When is Save The World free on PS4, Xbox One and PCs?

Fortnite has been out for less than a year, but has already developed a huge following - with its popularity skyrocketing since the free Battle Royale mode launched.

Fortnite launched as a paid for title, but this was only for early access - with Epic Games planning to release the entire game for free at a later date.

But when is Fortnite Save The World joining Battle Royale and becoming free to download on PS4, Xbox One and PCs?

Epic Games had previously said that Fortnite Save The World would become free to download in 2018.

And speaking to Express.co.uk, Eric Williamson, Fortnite’s Lead Systems Designer, said that’s still the plan.

He said: “We’re still looking at a 2018 free release for ‘Save the World.’ Epic tried to be really generous with the content in Early Access packs, and there have been events and items that exclusive to this Early Access period already!

“We appreciate everyone who’s played and supported the game so far, and our philosophy is to do everything we can to show that to our players.”

For those who have bought Fortnite in early access, they will have plenty of events to look forward to in the coming weeks.

On Friday, the official Fortnite Twitter account posted an updated timeline for Save The World.
