Hey everyone! Coming up on May 18, 2023, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)

GAAD’s about raising awareness for global accessibility. What’s global accessibility? Global accessibility means ensuring everyone has the same opportunities for experiencing digital platforms, and putting the accommodations in place needed to make that possible. Epic offers accessibility options in Fortnite like controller compatibility and personalization, visualized sound effects, customizable subtitles, and more. 

To celebrate GAAD, the Fortnite Item Shop will feature two free items from now until 8 PM ET on May 19: the Access Core Back Bling and Good Game, Well Played Emote. Pick up these new items that promote accessibility awareness.
