Fortnite will celebrate five years since it launched later this year. A remarkable achievement, especially when you consider the very basic premise of the game. Land on an island with 99 other players, eliminate as many of them as you can before getting eliminated yourself, and then jump back on the Battle Bus so you can do it all again.

There is no corner of the entertainment industry immune to the Fortnite collaboration treatment, and a couple of huge stars are about to make their triumphant returns to The Loop. Silk Sonic, better known as Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, is heading back to Fortnite complete with a new radio station and a couple of new outfits.

The station should actually be live right now, so give it a listen next time you're in a car on the island.
Silk Sonic duo Mars and .Paak will both be getting new Fortnite outfits to celebrate their music hitting the game.

There will also be a Free Wheels emote, and both outfits include a reactive style that players will need to wait for their launch to see. Both will be available in the Fortnite store from February
