This comes off of the heels of Twitch streamer “Ninja” and rapper Drake streaming Fortnite together and breaking Twitch records.
This event will take place during E3, while no official time has been given, we know it will take place somewhere between June 12-14, and be streamed live for the world. The list of celebrities has not been released, which means the speculation can begin now. There are plenty of celebrities who have interest in video games and even some that stream on occasion.
Post Malone has streamed Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds in the past and could easily make the switch to Fortnite to scoop a Victory Royale. While celebrities like Jack Black, who have a long history in the gaming industry are likely to make an appearance.
Chance the Rapper is an avid Fortnite player and often posts videos of himself playing the game to his Instagram account.
