Instrument controller support is currently in development for Fortnite Festival

Epic Games has officially released Fortnite Festival, a Rock Band successor developed by Harmonix available only in Fortnite. It was already announced that The Weeknd would be the first artist that Epic would be partnering up for this mode and there will be more in the future.

Since Fortnite Festival is essentially a twist on Rock Band a big question many will have is if this game will have instrument controller support. Epic Games confirmed that it’s a priority for the team to bring instrument controller support to Fortnite Festival.

“Not at launch, but it’s a priority for the team and currently under development. We’ll have more to share in 2024.”

The instruments supported in the Fortnite Festival are Guitars, Keytars, Drums, Mics, and Basses. So there could be a great chance that Epic Games could sell these instruments meant for gaming in stores in the next year.

Fortnite Festival Description:

“Fortnite Festival features a top-tier licensed soundtrack of massive global hits spanning many genres and decades. As the Festival continues to expand, connect with your friends through cross-platform play no matter what Fortnite-supported device you play on. Aim for a five-star performance on the Main Stage or create new mixes on the Jam Stage.”
