Microsoft has announced that the company’s retail stores in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Australia will be hosting Fortnite Fridays community nights. The events begin tomorrow, April 20th from 5:30 p.m. – 9 p.m. local time, with the promise of giving gamers more chances to meet up and play the popular sandbox survival game in person.

Registration is open here, though event entry is on a first-come, first serve basis until all spots are filled. Anyway, everyone who attends each week will be eligible to take home the grand prize of gift cards applicable towards 2,500 V-Bucks in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Attendees will be playing on high-powered ASUS Republic of Gamers PCs, with Xbox Wireless Controllers provided upon request.

See below for the schedule:

  • Solos: Every Friday, April 20 – Friday, May 11
  • Duos: Every Friday, May 18 – Friday, June 8
  • Squads: Every Friday, June 15 – Friday, July 6

Microsoft invites people to check out some Fornite themed e-cards for the occasion which are available here. You also can check out the Microsoft Store Mixer channel, and the company’s other gaming events, including Overwatch: Flash Ops and League of Legends nights.
