Fans of high-octane racing and Fortnite have something exciting to look forward to with the introduction of Fortnite's Rocket Racing mode, melding the mechanics of Rocket League into the Fortnite universe. This arcade-style racer brings gravity-defying gameplay and offers opportunities for creative navigation across diverse tracks. Gamers will utilize a special Air Dodge move to zip across walls and ceilings to outmaneuver opponents, aiming for boosts to accelerate their cars. The more surface racing you engage in, the quicker you fill your boost meter, with drifting providing a turbo charge for an additional burst of speed.

Fortnite's Rocket Racing isn't just about high-speed chases; it also introduces detailed car customization options for players. Vehicles can be personalized with an array of body colors, decals, and wheel designs. These customizations will carry over to Fortnite's Battle Royale, adding a flair of personality to players' vehicles in all game modes.

The game mode arrives with 26 tracks situated in various Fortnite-themed biomes, promising to roll out more tracks monthly. For a competitive edge, the mode offers both casual and ranked play, accommodating up to 12 racers in a casual lobby, while ranked mode resizes the competition to four drivers, with harder tracks as players progress in rank. Although playable on keyboard and mouse, the game mode's developers suggest using a controller for the best experience. Rocket Racing is now available across all Fortnite-compatible platforms.

Is Fortnite's new Rocket Racing mode free to play?

Yes, Rocket Racing, like the base game of Fortnite, is free to play across all platforms that support Fortnite.
