New York (CNN) Fortnite briefly invited gamers into the world of Star Wars on Saturday.
Even after 2:15 pm, players still took to social media to complain the game was crashing or they couldn’t even open it.
For those who were able to log in and tune in, including some YouTubers, the video game brought elements of Star Wars into its fantasy world of pickaxes and survival of the fittest shooting.
Then, JJ Abrams presented an exclusive clip from the upcoming film, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”
Everyone who attended the in-game event also received a free virtual cosmetic, and the store is selling Star Wars outfits.
