Tim Sweeney outlines his ambitious vision for the future of Fortnite.
“It’s going to evolve a lot,” Sweeney said.
Hespoke to researcher Matthew Ball about this recently, ahead of Fortnite’s seventh anniversary in August.
Fortnite as it exists today is limited by the available technology with which to build it.
“A Fortnite battle royale session is 100 players.
They can’t go anywhere to find each other all at once,” he said.
The scale could support a billion concurrent players in the future, Sweeney predicted.
“That’s got to be one of the goals of the technology.
The end result for the user could be a “much larger simulation” for players than exists today.
“Some experiences will be better by themselves.
“you might go anywhere in this connected world and participate in any experience there.
And what are creators doing instead of creating their own little isolated islands?
What’s more, Sweeney said he would like to see Fortnite embrace actual game code written by fans.
And that’s what we’re very excited about.”
