"Harmonix's Fortnite Music Mode: Rock Band Developer Brings Instrument Controller Support to Festival"

Harmonix's new rhythm-based mode, Fortnite Festival, will prioritize adding support for instrument controllers, allowing players to use their plastic guitars and drums. The mode currently lets players tap along to music using buttons on their controller or keyboard, similar to Rock Band, with tracks available for different instruments and difficulty options. Fortnite Festival also features a social space called The Jam Stage, where players can create mashups and remixes using tracks they own. The mode offers a rotating range of free tracks and the option to purchase additional music packs.
