WATCH | Fortnite is now part of the Olympic eSport line-up

An International Shooting Sport Federation Challenge featuring Fortnite will be part of the roster for the inaugural Olympic eSports Series 2023, bringing the total of sports and games involved in the series to 10, the IOC announced last week. 

The competition will be an invitational event for 12 players from the Fortnite Champion Series.

It will feature a special International Shooting Sport Federation Island created in Fortnite, which will be designed to reflect sport shooting competition. Players will be tested on their target aiming accuracy, just as sport shooters would in competition.

The Olympic eSports Series 2023 is a global virtual and simulated sports competition. The best players will take part in live, in-person finals at the Olympic Esports Finals in Singapore from 22–25 June 2023 as part of the Olympic eSports Week.
