"Epic Games is trying to attract more players to its Fortnite free-to-play battle royale by letting you instantly demo the game within Discord. The feature, powered by Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service, provides two 30-minute trial sessions per week to Discord users who don't have Fortnite installed on their PC. The Fortnite trial will be available until October 30th, with sessions updated every Tuesday at 9:59AM ET, according to Epic's announcement."
"Availability is limited to PC players in the US, UK, Mexico, Canada, and several European countries. However, it's worth flagging that myself and another UK-based colleague were unable to launch the experience in Discord without using a VPN that connected to the US. There are no requirements to install Fortnite to play the demos, but users need to be signed into both their Discord and Epic Games accounts to connect them for the trial."
Fortnite can be demoed instantly within Discord using Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming, offering two 30-minute trial sessions per week to PC users without the game installed. The trials run through October 30 with sessions refreshed each Tuesday at 9:59AM ET. Access requires signing into both Discord and Epic Games accounts and using a sign-up link that redirects into Discord. Availability is limited to PC players in the US, UK, Mexico, Canada, and several European countries, though some testers reported needing a US VPN to launch. No installation is required. Epic does not share player data with Nvidia or Discord, although those companies may independently collect data. These Fortnite trials represent the first instant-game demo tests between Nvidia and Discord and may expand to other titles.
