Fortnite is a game that is rated T for Teens. What this essentially means is that the subject matter, content, and gameplay of the battle royale title is designed for 13 year olds and up. That said, it does not mean that it cannot be for children younger than 13. It really depends on the family dynamic and what works for each parent out there. For some, the idea of this competitive experience built around eliminating other players online might not work for their younger children, in addition to the online communication with strangers around the world. That said, the game is developed in a way where there is no blood, no foul language, and other suggestive content, for the most part. As such, it is a lot more kid-friendly than other games in the genre and could be appropriate for some families and 7 year olds out there. It is suggested that you sit down and play with your child, or at least observe their online experiences firsthand, and determine if it works for your family. If you do not wish for your child to communicate with strangers online or hear what they are saying, which can include foul language at times, there are settings options for turning off the audio of teammates and the like.
