It is typically safe for children to play Fortnite as long as parents have set up controls, but it is still rated T (13+) because of the cartoon-related violence and the fact that the game is online with other players. Parents can confine the use of chat only, keep an eye on how much time their child is spending in front of the screen, and use the parental control features of Epic Games to make the game more appropriate and safer for younger kids.
