Bigfoot Spotted in Fortnite After Latest Update — And It’s Not a Joke

🦶 Bigfoot Makes a Surprise Appearance in Fortnite

Fortnite has never shied away from unexpected crossovers, but the latest mystery roaming the island may be one of its strangest yet. Following the 39.10 update released on December 11, players began sharing reports of Bigfoot sightings scattered across the map — and this time, it’s very real.
