Fortnite's Island Games Challenges Are Live


As Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 7 starts to come to a close, a new set of challenges arrive on Apollo Island.

Fortnite's Island Games Challenges are a series of extra challenges players can complete, earning Season 7 XP and free Cosmetic rewards before the launch of Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8.

Along with the new Best Friendzy event and Week 13 challenges, it seems players have a lot to keep themselves occupied before the new Season arrives.
