Fortnite Festival has reached its one-year milestone with impressive achievements across its rhythm-based gaming platform. Players have created 3.6 billion Jam Loops and engaged with music from 236 different artists since its December 2023 launch.

The game mode offers both competitive and casual play options. Players can perform on the Main Stage, choosing from vocals, lead guitar, bass, or drums, either solo or with up to three other players. The Jam Stage provides a relaxed environment for creating custom remixes and musical experiments.

Throughout its first year, Epic Games has released 280 Jam Tracks spanning multiple genres, including metal, pop, and hip-hop. Players have hit over one trillion notes while performing these tracks.
