After Deployment Coachella-themed fashion items drop out in Fortnite last year, Coachella expands even further in games with the launch Coachella Islanda new direction in Fortnite that allows players to virtually experience a popular music festival.

Coachella Island kicks off tomorrow, April 14th at 3pm ET. Gamers can find the new destination in Fortnite’s Epic Choice bar or enter the island code: 5449-4207-12803.

Created by the creators of Alliance Studios using creative play mode, the island features a virtual market stall and arts park, as well as desert skies, mountains, polo fields and palm trees inspired by the festival landscape.

The art park has recreated virtual replicas of the festival’s most famous art installations created by the Fortnite community. This includes the Coachella Ferris wheel, Spectra and balloon chains, as well as two new art installations coming to the festival this year and the Fortography Gallery.

Gamers can also participate in creator-created music and art activities such as mini-games and quests. Users can listen to the Icon radio in the game, featuring songs and artists from the 2023 Coachella line-up.

“The future of in-game music and art is not to mimic the real world, but to reimagine magic and make it more accessible with a new medium,” Sam Schoonover, head of innovation at Coachella, said in a statement. “We believe the best way to do this is to give artists the opportunity to show us the way. Just as the IRL festival is a stage for musicians, Coachella Island is now a canvas for game creators. Fortnite provides the tools needed to invite creators and fans to participate in this creative process.”

Like last year, players can purchase Coachella-themed clothing and in-game items from the Fortnite Item Shop. There are two new outfits this year dubbed “Sunset Alto” and “Desert Dawn Lyric”.

The Sunset Alto outfit includes a cute orange summer tank top, shorts and a brown beach hat. It comes with a bonus Aurora Visualizer alternate style that reacts to music, a reactive Sunset Swirl back ornament, and a Crystalline Cactus pickaxe.

The “Desert Dawn Lyric” outfit includes a street print T-shirt, Aurora Visualizer alternate style, Airflow Vibes back embellishment, and an Electropalm Staff pickaxe.

Musical-reactive elements play songs from two Coachella 2023 artists, Bad Bunny and Burna Boy.

And if you missed last year’s clothing, it will be available for purchase in the Item Shop.

The Sony ZV-1 remains one of the best vlogging cameras you can buy, despite being released way back in 2020, but that may not be for long if the new rumors of a sequel are true.

Reliable Sony Alpha Rumors (will open in a new tab) claims a “reliable source” said the new Sony ZV-1 successor will be released “by the end of May”. If you’re looking to buy one of the best inexpensive blogging cameras out there, it might be wise to postpone your purchase for the next few weeks.

Apple won the Epic Games antitrust appeal after years of legal battles.

According to BloombergThe decision of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds the 2021 ruling that dismisses nine out of ten claims from Epic.

Today’s ruling states that Apple continued to violate California’s anti-steering law by directing app users to various payment methods.

The legal battle between the companies began in 2020 when the Fortnite maker tried to evade Apple and Google’s 30 percent commission for in-app purchases.

Both firms responded by removing the name from their digital storefronts. Epic then filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google and Apple.
