How to Watch Fortnite Short Nite Festival
In order to participate in Short Nite, Fortnite players will need to first gain access to the Party Royale tab on the main menu. There you can meet up with your Fortnite pals and grab some real in-game popcorn before taking your seats to watch some high quality animated short films. Players who attend the live screening will also be able to purchase the Jumbo Popcorn emote in the item store.
If you want to be able to watch the shorts while you play, then all you need to do is enable the Picture-in-Picture feature. This will be available to players at a time interval of every two hours.
This has been a great gesture on the part of Epic Games as they have decided to show off the hard work of many animators who have been struggling to get by in light of recent events. The event will conclude at 2 p.m. ET today so be sure to get your selves over to Party Royale before the festivities are over.
