Fortnite Progressive Companion App
Exploring how a progressive companion app could extend Fortnite’s engagement beyond gameplay.
Independent design project. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Epic Games. This is a companion experience outside gameplay.
context
Context and challenge
The concept explores a companion interface for customization, shop browsing, progression and player information outside the game. Live data and account actions remain integration hypotheses.
The challenge
Companion apps can strengthen engagement, but native app development creates distribution friction. The project explored whether a PWA could deliver similar value with less platform dependency.

PWA Strategy
Explored progressive web app advantages such as build once, run everywhere, no download friction and platform flexibility.
Interface prototype
Designed mobile and web flows for login, locker, battle pass, item shop, quests, map and profile.
project scope
Prototype scope and open questions
Represented in the design
Mobile and desktop flows for login, locker, Battle Pass, shop, quests, map and profile. The screens communicate interaction and content hierarchy.
Still hypothetical
Epic authentication, synchronized inventory and progression, live map or shop updates, purchases and account changes. This is an interface concept; live service integrations are outside its scope.
Technical limits
API availability, permissions, data freshness, purchase authorization and cross-device synchronization require feasibility work before these flows can function as a live service.
