Fortnite Battle Royale FSK: This is the age rating

Fortnite Battle Royale doesn't have the classic look of a shooter, which is why FSK approval is particularly interesting in this game. We show you the age from which the game is released in Germany.

Fortnite age rating: FSK 12 or 16?

The abbreviation FSK stands for "voluntary self-regulation of the film industry". In this practical tip on the FSK, we explain exactly what is behind the FSK.

• Unlike other well-known shooters like Counter Strike and Player Unknowns Battleground, Fortnite does not use a real design. Instead of real people, people who are dressed in crazy clothes are shot in a brightly colored fantasy world.
• The question rightly arises as to how the shooter is rated by the FSK. Although the game world seems relatively harmless, weapons from the real world are still fired at other people.
• The age rating of the FSK is therefore 12 years. The game is also available in all of Europe and the USA from the age of 12. Since it is an online game, an FSK rating is not absolutely necessary, which is why you will not find it printed on a data medium.

Tip: Take a look at the FSK approval for Player Unknown Battleground, the classification of Fortnite as FSK 12 is very surprising.
