A Fortnite player has gone viral on social media for flexing their super rare game disc for an Xbox console. Here’s what other players had to say about it.
As a staple of the Battle Royale genre, Fortnite has been growing in popularity since its 2017 debut. Players have shown their undying devotion to the live service game across its many seasons, chapters, and live events.
The game was first released on PC and later ported to PlayStation and Xbox consoles. However, the port was done using paid game discs that included a cosmetic add-on and V-Bucks. The game didn’t launch digitally on console stores until mid-2018, in contrast to its free-to-play model.
As the majority of gamers have already played the game digitally on a console or PC, finding someone with the original game disc is quite rare. These discs are now considered super rare and no longer sold in stores. Now, one user’s flex of the game disc has gone viral, and the player base has spoken out about it.

An X user recently shared a picture of a Fortnite game disc for an Xbox One console that dates back to 2018 and wrote, “The biggest flex is owning Fortnite on disc.” The comment refers to the absurdity around a free-to-play online game that was initially launched on a disc and how it is quite rare around the community.

Looking at the photo, several Fortnite players posted pictures of their game discs on Xbox and a PS4. Notably, some consider such discs valuable collectible items and have their own thoughts about them.
One such player said, “My biggest regret (but not really) was not getting Fortnite on disc when it first came out. I saw the physical copy in my GameStop tons of times and never bought it.” Another chimed in, “I rather have it downloaded from the App Store. Isn’t it slower on disk?”
A third user commented, “The deep freeze bundle goes unfathomably hard in physical form.” A fourth person replied, “Bro you paid for a disc to a free game.”
While rare finds like these are plenty around the Fortnite community, the game also consists of some of the rarest skins that players are always on the lookout for.
