Fortnite is a cross-platform battle game where players duke it out with up to a hundred other people on their own or together in teams. Various modes of gameplay include survival, co-operative and sandbox, the latter being where one can control and place the items in the arena before using them in a match.

In My Hero Academia, certain humans are born with special abilities called quirks, which are either beneficial or detrimental to the user and the world at large. With a world under threat from villains using their powers for evil, heroes are needed to keep everyone safe. The students at U.A. High School learn from the best pro heroes to hone their skills and master their quirks. Based on the manga by Kohei Horikoshi, My Hero Academia has been adapted into an anime series and into stage plays, spin-off novels and video games.

Developed and published by Epic Games, Fortnite is available on PC, PS4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and Android devices.
