How to watch a Fortnite x Daft Punk live event?

While Epic Games has confirmed the start date of the event, we’re not 100% sure how to watch it. However, since the event will be in the Battle Royale mode, we will likely have to queue for it approximately 30 minutes before it begins. After that, simply get into the match and wait for the event to start!

We will update this article once Epic confirms how to join the event.
