Fortnite continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the metaverse. You can now experience Topgolf inside of Fortnite through a custom map built using Fortnite’s UEFN platform. This collaboration brings together two highly popular social activities: a battle royale video game and a golf driving range game.

Players who hop into the Topgolf map can engage in a variety of activities including Swing Showdown, Topgolf Speedway, Golf Ball Ramp Jump Challenge & Whack-a-Ball and Topgolf World Tour. Topgolf Speedway is -- as you might expect -- a racing challenge, while in Swing Showdown and Topgolf World Tour you get to become the ball. The World Tour will take players through Topgolf locations in Santa Monica, Bangkok, Dubai and Las Vegas.

“At Topgolf, we’re always seeking for ways to connect people through play, and our collaboration with Fortnite is the perfect way to bring the fun of Topgolf to the virtual world,” said Topgolf Chief Brand Officer Geoff Cottrill. “This map is designed to deliver the same excitement and energy you experience at one of our venues. We can’t wait to see how players come together to enjoy the game in a whole new way!”

The UEFN platform has proven to be a gateway for creativity. This summer, Nerd Street’s own Localhost Philadelphia gaming and esports venue hosted a class organized by Launchpad Philly and CreateAccess in which students got to create their own maps through UEFN.
