Fortnite’s Short Nite film festival is back for its third iteration with ten animated shorts. This unique experience allows players to pick and choose which films they would like to watch. Furthermore, Epic Games will release a new emote to celebrate this instance of Short Nite. Let’s cover how you can watch Fortnite’s latest film festival.
How to watch the Fortnite's Short Nite film festival
From May 12 at 2 PM EST until May 16, Fortnite players can queue into Short Nite to watch ten animated short films–three of which have never aired publicly until now. You can participate in Short Nite in a few different ways, and here’s how:
- Navigate to Fortnite’s ‘Discover’ menu on May 12
- Locate and select Short Nite
- Queue into the event as you would a standard Battle Royale or Zero Build match
- Select any film you’d like, sit back and watch as the rest play one after another
Beyond that, Fortnite also offers a picture-in-picture option for those who want to play the game while watching Short Nite. You can turn on this feature by going to ‘Settings’ and finding the picture-in-picture toggle.
