Fortnite Festival celebrates its first anniversary with impressive stats: 3.6 billion Jam Loops created and music from 236 artists featured across the platform. This rhythm-based game mode, similar to Guitar Hero, has become a significant part of the Fortnite ecosystem since its December 2023 launch.

Players can perform on the Main Stage with four instrument choices: vocals, lead guitar, bass, and drums. The mode supports both solo play and multiplayer sessions with up to three additional players. The Jam Stage offers a casual environment for creating musical remixes and experimenting with track combinations.

Throughout its first year, Epic Games released 280 Jam Tracks spanning multiple genres. Players hit over one trillion notes while performing these tracks. To mark this milestone, Epic Games is making all jam tracks temporarily available for free play on the Main and Battle Stages during the All Access weekend (December 12-15, 7 PM ET).

Special celebration bundles are available in the shop until December 19, including:

  • Platinum Icon bundles featuring The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, and Karol G
  • Metallica Jam Bundle with four iconic songs

New tracks added to the shop include:

  • "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish
  • "Disease" by Lady Gaga
  • "One" by Metallica
  • "Dancing in the Flames" by The Weeknd

A new feature allows players to perform jam tracks in the Fortnite lobby while waiting for games, supporting up to four players simultaneously. This feature works across all Fortnite modes except Fall Guys experiences.
