It is also how Fortnite Season 10 ended.

More than 5.5 million people watched the event, titled "The End", on YouTube and Amazon's Twitch video-game platform. The black hole is the only thing players can see right now, along with a big red exit button.

Servers were still down and since Epic has gone dark on social media, deleting more than 12,000 tweets on the Fortnite Twitter account, aside from the link to the stream of the black hole, CNET reported.
