Currently, Save the World doesn't have a group release date. In line with the official Fortnite FAQ over on Epic Games'site, it's still just slated to go free-to-play “at some point in 2018.” Chances are, we're not planning to notice it any time before E3. In reality, considering the PvE mode released in June a year ago, E3 could even be where we get the state release date of when Save the World will soon be free.

Thankfully, as Epic Games’ Fortnite (both Save the World and Battle Royale) are officially supported on Mac, it’s fairly easy to install Fortnite on your Mac.

If we were planning to hazard a guess as to when you'll hopefully be able to dive to the PvE game mode in Fortnite, we'd say sometime in the 2nd half this year. The moment we find out anything more for certain, however, we'll make sure to update this post and allow you to know.

Share on: Is Save The World about to follow Paragon into the grave? Fortnite launched in July 2017 as a multiplayer PvE shooter, a game mode we now know as Save the World. Since launch, the game has been expanded. The original roadmap for Fortnite was for it to be a paid early access game at launch before eventually going free-to-play once developer Epic felt the game was ready. But as the months have passed by,.

With the success of Battle Royale in the spotlight, the future of the Save the World mode is becoming more uncertain with every update. The official Fortnite subreddit has been Epics primary source of communication with the gaming community. With a convenient way to have their voices heard, players have been continually expressing doubts over the future of this game mode. In response to the community’s concerns,, stating “Save the World will definitely continue and we have more to bring you in the coming months. We’ve recently released some roadmaps with some upcoming content and additions we have planned.” From the outside looking in, this sounds like a very promising statement to hear from a developer, but when you scratch beneath the surface, the reality is not so optimistic. “All the cool new features, game modes, weapons and other gear are being released for Battle Royale”, a free-to-play battle arena game also created by Epic, has triggered a lot of concern within the Fortnite community. Up until the announcement, Epic and the Paragon team were quite positive about the future of the game.

A tweet on the official Paragon Twitter page reads “From everyone here on the Paragon team, thank you for playing and we’re looking forward to an exciting 2018! This didn’t sound like a developer worried its game is about to be canned. Looking at several other tweets leading up to the cancellation, it doesn’t look like the developer was expecting it at all.

Some players have seen this as a betrayal and have come to question everything that Epic has been saying about the future of the Save the World game mode in Fortnite. This, of course, is not the only reason there is doubt about its future. As an early access game, it is safe to assume that there are going to be plenty of bugs. Bugs that typically get patched through frequent updates., it’s clear to see that Epic has been doing just that. It is great to see fixed bugs, but that’s not all Epic has been doing. All the cool new features, game modes, weapons and other gear are being released for the Battle Royale game mode.

It seems as if suggestions for Battle Royale get considered and any suggestions for Save the World are ignored. Since the game’s release, there have been several themed events, with the most recent being, which caused a lot of frustration. These events seem to mask the lack of interest in the game mode more than enhance it. Simply gives you an idea of the level of frustration that community has at the moment. The Save the World mode works a lot differently to the Battle Royale mode. Rather than losing all your inventory at the end of a game, you keep it for use in the next game.

Players have been expressing concerns with the UI and how difficult it makes basic tasks. Most of these, if not all of these concerns, seem to have fallen on deaf ears. A community post highlighting the issues has gained popularity with 187 responses to date. A post by a user named marrowak. A glaring quote from this piece says: “the scope of the PVP player base absolutely dwarves the interests of PVE (rightfully so since its s**t), and it’s only logical that they feed their success and pivot their focus to the fortune that fell onto their lap. This makes a lot of players pessimistic about PVE being the best that it can be.” This has hit the nail on the head.
