The Punk'd reboot hosted by Chance the Rapper will have its premiere in the popular battle royale game starting at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT Friday. The Quibi show will air at the top of the hour for 24 hours at the Risky Reels drive-in theater in Fortnite.
This is not the first time Fortnite has hosted a big media event. In December, a never-before-seen clip of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was shown in the game. Fortnite has also partnered up with other franchises such as Marvel's The Avengers, Stranger Things and Birds of Prey.
