Tired of being mercilessly killed by absurdly-skilled players mere seconds after you start a game of Fortnite? Season 11 will even the playing field massively, as better matchmaking options and bots will help provide a fairer challenge to players of any skill level.

This year’s celebration of the caped crusader is looking to be bigger than ever, with the bat-signal being broadcast through several cities as celebrations kick off, but for those of us who can’t be bothered enough to leave the house?

I don’t think anybody really likes paid, randomised loot boxes…other than game publishers who chuckle with malevolent glee as they rhythmically tap the tips of their fingers together whenever they see how much money they make off of them. Buying digital lucky packets kinda sucks, especially when you’re after a specific bit of kit, armour or decal and it’s hidden behind a randomised pay wall.

Having risen to fame with his Fortnite streams, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has long been the de facto name in livestreaming for a good couple of years now over on Twitch.
