Tfue gets Fortnite win while flying 36,000 feet on a plane using Starlink

Who would have ever guessed that one of the most famous content creators in the world would be sharing the news that he got a Fortnite win at 36,000 feet in the air? Well, Tfue has defied all odds by utilizing Starlink to get the first (that we know of) win in a Fortnite match while flying on a plane.

The popular streamer posted a photo earlier today (May 12, 2025) of the screen sitting in front of his seat on a plane with a Fortnite Victory Royale on it.

The Tweet then had the caption: "Victory Royale at 36,000 ft."

What makes the photo better is the beautiful steak sitting right in front of him, as the creator shows off his lavish lifestyle. But how did Tfue get a win at such a high elevation? Surely, he was not using the plane's wi-fi, right?

Well, the creator used Starlink, the popular satellite service owned by Elon Musk. Starlink has been known to provide people with decent internet while being in the middle of nowhere, but I am not sure anyone would expect it to allow someone to play competitive video games online while on an airplane.

A video was posted by Dexerto today that had Tfue talking more in-depth about gaming online while flying on a plane.

"We got the makeshift Fortnite setup on Qatar Airways," said Tfue. "They have got Starlink now, so you can actually game online."

The video then cuts to Tfue getting a Fortnite win with 12 eliminations. Tfue has constantly been attempting to push the boundaries when it comes to creating content, and getting a Fortnite win at such a high elevation is easily one of his greatest feats.

We will more than likely see a YouTube video release in the following days showing his Fortnite win at 36,000 feet, giving us a better look at the accomplishment.
