Today, Nintendo announced during its E3 press conference that Epic Games\u2019 smash hit\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>\u00a0would be coming to the Switch console<\/a>. Not only that, but the game is arriving today at 1PM ET on the Switch digital store. Given that\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>\u00a0is a free-to-play game that is played entirely online and supports accounts syncing, that raises some interesting questions about whether Switch players will be able to cross-play with those on other platforms.<\/p>\n
