Epic Games has launched a new voice reporting feature in Fortnite, aimed at combatting inappropriate behavior during voice chats. Players can now capture offending audio and report it anonymously. This tool is automatically enabled for those under 18, while adults can adjust settings manually. Captured audio is stored temporarily and reviewed by moderators. Fortnite adds this functionality along with new age rating policies for content within the game. The move reflects industry trends, with companies like Microsoft, Riot Games, and Sony implementing similar features for online gaming safety.

Fortnite, a gaming phenomenon since its release in July 2017, continues to evolve with player safety as a focus. Rated Teen by ESRB, it's available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Android, among others. Alongside gaming news and updates, voice chat safety steps like Fortnite's show the industry's commitment to creating more secure online environments for players of all ages.
