I’m sure you must be thinking how did we go from Fortnite being a shooter to having racing games?
Fortnite has evolved a lot since it first came out. From a 3rd person shooter battle royale, it has added a lot more to offer. The main change in Fortnite came when the creative mode was introduced. Players had their islands on creative. This invited several creative minds to take over.
Then new maps were made with different game modes on them. These new game modes and props were used to make mini-games that were different from shooters. Hide and seek, prop hunt, horror maps, and racing maps came to the surface.
In this article, I will be telling you about the racing maps that were created in the process. The map creators got so creative with what they had and this can be seen by the race courses designed in the following list.
