Aw, I think this is sweet. Also I love to hear about girl gamers because I don't want my kid to grow up thinking gaming is only for boys - the problem being the only female gamer he actually knows is his extremely uncool mother. It would be interesting to know how your daughter gets on with battle royale or blitz.

the fact that we still have no 4k release for that movie is a crime against my family.

My two girls noticed it on the store screen for whichever console they were using at the time (Xbox or Switch). My eldest (10yo) told the younger dismissively “Oh, that’s Fortnite”—though she’s never played, it was a tone that suggested she knew enough from school that she didn’t want to. Was unexpected for me!

My 8 y/o LOVED jumping into Lego Fortnite with me early on, but once Brick Life came out, that's all she ever wanted to play (it's a LOT like a Roblox role playing experience, but with a lot more polish than most Roblox games she plays). I've gotten her to play a few battle royales with me, and I think the game is savvy to the fact that she's a child, I'm almost certain some of our matches had bots in them that were very easy to kill (or we were playing with other children?) - in any case, she easily scored a few kills and her self-esteem skyrocketed.

She loves the new KPDH mode so I'm sure we're gonna play a lot of it. Luckily I already had a couple thousand V-bucks and just straight up bought her Rumi as a surprise for when she next opened Fortnite. It went over VERY well and she was SO excited.

Terrified/delighted for you that you daughter is becoming more of a gamer. "She's taken her first step into a larger world."
