Fortnite Festival is a 2023 rhythm game developed by Harmonix and published by Epic Games. In the game, players perform a song while attempting to get the highest score possible based on their performance. Each song has four different instruments, and players choose which part of the song they want to play, as well as the difficulty of the song, with higher difficulties changing the layouts of songs. A variety of songs can be chosen from, with a free selection that changes daily, as well as the opportunity to purchase songs outright from the Fortnite item shop. Songs available range from those composed by Epic Games Sound Team to those from popular artists.
The game was released in December 2023 as a part of the Fortnite launcher. Since release, numerous in-game "seasons" have released, which change the games promotional material to be themed around a specific featured artist. Additional updates have also allowed the usage of guitar controllers and added new gameplay modes built with the controllers in mind, playing similarly to the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series of games. Fortnite Festival received mixed reviews from critics, with criticism toward the price of songs as well as the gameplay.
