the fortnite world cup uses two of the game modes available to the video game, "fortnite". the main world cup event as well as the pro-am use "fortnite battle royale", a battle royale game where up to 100 players airdrop onto an island without any weapons or armor, save for a pickaxe. once on the ground, players must scavenge for weapons, armor, and healing items, as well as using their pickaxe to knock down existing features to gather wood, stone, and metal resources. this all must be done while avoiding attacks from other players, as well as staying within a shrinking circle on the map or risk taking fatal damage outside it. players can use gathered resources to build walls, floors, and stairs and ramps to use as cover from attacks. the last player or team left alive wins. in "fortnite creative", players can build unique courses at their own pace, which can be used to create competitive events that can then share with others.

near the same time that epic released "fortnite" into early access, "playerunknown's battlegrounds" had become a worldwide phenomenon, having sold over 5 million copies three months from its march 2017 release, and drawing strong interest in the battle royale genre. epic recognized that with the "fortnite" base game, they could also do a battle royale mode, and rapidly developed their own version atop "fortnite" in about two months. by september 2017, epic was ready to release this as a second mode from "save the world" in the paid-for earlier access, but then later decided to release it as a free game, "fortnite battle royale", supported with microtransactions. this version quickly gained players, with over 10 million players during its first two weeks of release, and leading epic to create separate teams to continue the "fortnite battle royale" development apart from the "save the world" mode, outside of common engine elements and art assets. this allowed "fortnite battle royale" to expand to other platforms otherwise not supported by the "save the world" mode, including ios and android mobile devices and the nintendo switch.
