Fortnite's battle royale mode may hog the spotlight from the variant of the game that started it all, Fortnite Save the World. It's Fortnite's cooperative campaign mode that puts you and three other friends up against hordes of enemies. And while Fortnite Save the World was supposed to go free-to-play this year. Epic Games has confirmed that this is no longer the case. If you're looking to play Fortnite Save the World now, the game is 50 percent off on all variants for this week.

"We decided to move the free-to-play launch of Save the World out of this year," a post from the developer reads. "We're working on a broad set of features, reworks, and backend system scaling we believe are needed to go free-to-play."
