Fortnite is now incorporating Bandcamp music into the game

Fortnite has brought in Bandcamp music.

Fortnite has finally integrated Bandcamp into the game, months after purchasing the independent music site. For years, artists have been uploading music to the platform and selling it themselves to prospective fans. All sorts of artists have used this service. A few of my favorites, Lucky Boys Confusion, AM Taxi, and The Megas have done quite well using the platform.

Other major names like Bjork, Radiohead, and Peter Gabriel have been known to use the service as well.

Epic Games, Fortnite’s parent company, bought the website nearly one year ago, in March of 2022, and the idea was to incorporate it into their gaming sphere somehow. Well, now we know how at least some of how they intend to use it.

Bandcamp has taken over Radio Underground and will remain that way through the end of Chapter 4, Season 1.
