Fortnite just turned three and fans can’t believe that it’s been so long since they started playing their favorite game. Birthdays in Fortnite are always special as the game gives out free rewards if the players complete the ‘Birthday’ challenges. Unsurprisingly, the game’s third birthday is equally special and the rewards start dropping as soon as players log into the game.
