Fortnite Removes Police Cars Amid George Floyd Protests
Popular video game removes police cars from its map in response to ongoing unrest
Move comes after several protests over the death of George Floyd
Fortnite, the popular online video game, has removed police cars from its map amid ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd. The move was first noticed by players on Monday, June 1, and has been confirmed by Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite.
Epic Games has not publicly stated why it removed police cars from Fortnite, but the move is likely in response to the ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd. Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died on May 25 after being arrested by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The officer who arrested Floyd, Derek Chauvin, has been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter.
The death of George Floyd has sparked widespread protests across the United States and around the world. The protests have been largely peaceful, but there have been some instances of violence and looting. The removal of police cars from Fortnite is likely an attempt by Epic Games to show solidarity with the protesters and to promote a more positive and inclusive environment within the game.
