The project

A familiar island.
A different machine.

A playable recreation of Fortnite Battle Royale, Chapter 1 Season 1 (v1.10), rebuilt to run from Aurora on a real RGH Xbox 360.

The original game code is closed source and Unreal Engine 4 does not support Xbox 360. FortniteS1 uses a custom engine and game code, with reduced assets from the original v1.10 files.

THE GOAL

Reach 30 fps on real hardware, and get as close to Season 1 as the 360 can take.

Made for the limits

A custom D3D9-class renderer, planned around the 360’s shared 512 MB memory and 10 MB eDRAM.

Season 1 source

Original v1.10 assets and gameplay data guide the map, weapons, sounds, animations and visual style.

Solo battle royale

Designed for 15–20 players, with a dedicated PC game server and matchmaking planned.

Season 1, piece by piece

The island comes back.

The PC core can fly across the full Athena map. Gameplay systems are being brought online and tuned against v1.10 data.

01 / DROP IN

Full Athena map

Explore the original island layout, then ride the Battle Bus into a match.

ISLAND

Season 1 weapons, source-backed stats and range falloff, with the original inventory flow.

ATMOSPHERE

06 / CONNECT

Made for a small lobby

Solo matches are designed for 15–20 players. Server and matchmaking work are planned.

PLANNED

PC progress is not a claim of Xbox 360 performance. Real hardware validation is still ahead.

From prototype to console

The road ahead.
