A Nov. 16 update for Fortnite has introduced a new age restriction on the game’s many custom maps, also known as islands, as well as on its many cosmetic items. Every island will have its own ESRB (or equivalent) age rating, and only compatible cosmetics (i.e skins) will be available to equip.
Fortnite developer Epic Games introduced new parental controls and age ratings to the popular battle royale, which will now classify all of the game’s content. In a Nov. 16 announcement titled “Island Age Restrictions Now in Fortnite,” the developer explained how cosmetic items, custom maps, and game modes all will carry their own age rating. This results in some items being completely unavailable on maps and modes that have a lower age rating, and the game’s store now features a new warning for players buying skins and cosmetics.
