The competitive Fortnite scene is going to be bigger and better than ever this year, with the Pro-Am 2025 event set to be shown in movie theatres across the United States.
What is the Fortnite Pro-Am?
The Fortnite Pro-Am will see 20 of the game’s biggest content creators and 20 Fortnite Championship Series (FNCS) team up to try and win the biggest competition so far this year.
There is a $500,000 prize pool up for grabs at the upcoming tournament, which is taking place in Los Angeles, California, on May 10th.
