A Fortnite player has discovered an interesting new feature with their Jam Tracks while playing the Battle Royale mode. Fans of the hugely popular multiplayer free-to-play video game never have a dull moment, as Epic Games continues to add one update after another to keep Fortnite players engaged.

Season OG of Fortnite ended recently and was met with generally positive reviews from fans, who praised the multitude of features that the developer brought back from the initial seasons of the game. Season OG also led Fortnite past the 100-million-player mark in November, setting a new record for the franchise. Now, as Chapter 5 is already underway, fans are enjoying several new features and changes to the gameplay mechanics, like wall running, weapon attachments, and much more. However, some fans have expressed their disappointment with the changes in player movement.

Chapter 5 also has a new game mode called Fortnite Festival, which allows players to play a music/rhythm game similar to Guitar Hero and Rock Band. They can jam to various licensed songs by pressing one of five keys at the correct time. The tracklist includes several hit songs, like Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy," "Cake by the Ocean" by DNCE, "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd, and several others. Recently, user SmearReddit shared a video on Reddit while playing the Battle Royale mode. The video shows the user loading up the Jam Loops menu while waiting for other players to join. Their in-game character can be seen playing the drums to "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga. Then, the player proceeded to switch to vocals, bass, and lead guitar, while also adjusting the key of the song.

Other users are delighted to learn about the cool new feature Fortnite has introduced. However, one user commented how at least four people will have to buy the emote in order to get the full song, and its price tag is quite high.

Along with the interesting new Jam Tracks feature, players have a lot of new modes to explore in Fortnite Chapter 5. The new Chapter not only features the well-received LEGO Fortnite, but also has Rocket Racing, inspired by the popular Rocket League.
