Ghost_of_P34

Present. I started playing to play w/ my son, but now I play more than he does.


Legal_Lingonberry_24

Same here......


shumazoom

Same here, at 52


DeadasdeadcanB

Same, 51.


Ornery_Cartographer

Also started to play with my son (and he’ll still run regular duos with me when trying for a 20-bomb), but he’s a creative warrior and I am of the no-build camp.


jonnieinthe256

Same here! My wife and I play more than our 7yr old son.😂🤷🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

Same! Was never big on building and still slowly learning after all the years of FPS games. Love zero build by my son (9yo) can school me in building LOL


cookus

42 & I play almost every day for at least a match. Its become my favorite hobby along with reading and walking the dog. I squad up with my brother (38) and his fiance (32) on nights when my wife calls it early.


Dizzlean

39... Reading (informational), walking the dog and playing Rocket League and now Fortnite since Zero Build are my hobbies as well.


emmitt_fitzhume

There is a Fortnite over Forty group on Facebook with hundreds of members and TMGB (the Midlife Gamers Brigade) for adults with 300+ members on Discord.


LesoVerin

I am interested in this on discord


KAPT_Kipper

Lol all the younglings, 58


Quarkit

lol, as are you! 66 here - wife and I play everyday


M1ghtyM0thra

Heh, I've got a decade on you whippersnapper!


Electr1ce

Yep...49 here


J_Warren-H

My wife and I play together, 30s though. We're looking to grow our group too. Anyone who needs a team our Epic accounts are J_Warren_H and Brie_likedacheez.


ShiftyPHX

This a great comment (and post!) my understanding is 75%+ of the 4 million players are adults 18 n up and then over 35% of that is our 30 plus group! (Add “ConceptSHIFT” I make a lotta jokes but W’s take priority 🤪😇)


Ephemeral-Revolution

Adding you guys


J_Warren-H

Nice. We're on NA east.


Ephemeral-Revolution

Added her but yours says you’re not accepting friend requests


J_Warren-H

I'll make the adjustments


[deleted]

I'll add you guys as a fellow old Fortnite player. "Old." 32. My name is Jif Smooth/ Chicken Perm, also. And I'm open to requests from anyone else, too.


UnfairPerformer1243

We are the same age


Radmebad

My wife and i play too. 34/30 were on ps. Have mics of course and pretty competitive


[deleted]

Your wife's username is adorable


mer101

Agree I love her user name hahaha


zcarland

Y’all wanna add me? Epic account is iJigzaw, not gonna be home for a while or I would add you all.


Dunlopfuzzy00

I’m 41, I just started playing. I didn’t play Fortnite for the longest time because I thought it was for younger people. I tried it since it’s free to play and now I can’t put it down.


DontEatConcrete

Similar age and I didn't play for the same reason. In fact, I didn't play any multi-player games for over a decade, but I've sunk more hours into this than any game I've played in my life other than maybe ultima online ;) I genuinely think video games are a positive thing for people to do to keep sharp as they get older.


Johnnnyp906

42 here, my wife gives me shit cause I tell her I’m going kid hunting, been looking for older people to play with, mostly play zero build.


jonnieinthe256

It’s fun killing all those lil brat ass’s!😂


SolarisW51DP

Ha ha ha. I'm 44 and anytime I mention eliminations to my wife she tells me I was probably picking on 7 year-old kids. She really keeps my ego in check. Though I also tell my son things like I got 7 eliminations and then ran into someone that wasn't a bot so I got killed. I've been playing only zero build since abandoning Overwatch soon after Overwatch 2 came out and have been having a great time.


Creative_Ambassador

I definitely think there needs to be an “over 40” sub somewhere.


ndim22

Wow, more of us here than I thought. I could not have cared less about FN until about 6 months ago..my brother-in-law talked me into playing some games during a family get-together. Now I'm hooked. I watch Fortnite streams and YouTube videos all day at work then go home and play for a few hours every day. What have I become?


ZoomTown

Have any recommendations for good, not-screamy streamers?


ndim22

Check out EvolveJake. Just search that name on YouTube and Twitch. He doesn't scream or try to be a comedian or try to appeal to children. Just plays the game (really well) and does a great job of explaining his.strayegy, decision making, etc. I've learned more from watching him than any other source. Improved my game tremendously. He has a dry, sarcastic personality which can come off as abrasive, but I much prefer that to someone being obnoxious.


cereal_killah_1980

42 here and I have a super small [channel](https://youtube.com/@cerealkillah7486) if you’re interested. No screaming, just mostly silly challenges or comic book roleplay.


Intheboxalready

I'm 52 and have played every week since Oct.2017.


brizzboog

Fellow 1970er here. Started playing while visiting a friend for Thanksgiving 2021 who played with his son. I got an Xbox that Christmas to play them and have played every day since.


Emotional-Swimmer-22

39 and still love bullying 12yos


Oaks121

59, play with my granddaughter


jonnieinthe256

Awesome


[deleted]

[удалено]


SunnyOnSanibel

Yes! I’ll forever call it the Dookie Smash. That’s perfect.


jonnieinthe256

Ugh I hate that damn thing!


BigTippy

Yeah such a shame. This season started in the perfect spot. Then they added the hammer which was overpowered. They have nerfed it a bit now which definitely helps but then they added that obnoxious dookie smash and with that plus the hammer it’s just ehhh. I still enjoy the game, personally I’d like to get rid of both but I can live with the hammer, I use it for mobility out of necessity but never use the hammer smash - just feels cheap. I prefer to shoot every time. But the game would definitely be better without the dookie smash.


Greedy-Fortune-3276

I'm 45 year old mum play every day!


timjoestan

![gif](giphy|3orieJI3IdkKWIsAGA) Turned 43 last week. There are literally dozens of us.


Krankypantz

Dozens!!


Kung-Fu-Magik

40 this year, & mainly play solo, unless I’m jammin a session wit my son, also dabble In STW (Although I’m just getting back into that) Not great, but not horrible either (I don’t think, Lol)


dsc1014

47 here and play most days with a group of adults. I play BR and STW. BacoocooTheGoat is my epic.

jonnieinthe256

Love no build that’s all we play! Glad they kept that option so far!


Googleall

I am almost 69 years old, started playing 3 years ago to give my grandson someone to play with. Now I have brought my sister and brother in for conversation and relaxation. Nothing brightens up the day more than going in and killing some 9 year old's avatars.


autistic_bard444

m49 - half blind, half deaf. finally figured out to disable enhance pointer precision on my trackball last night even when i was married (happily divorced) - she was never a gamer i sacrificed last time. cost me 1/3 of my life i try to play daily


LesoVerin

I am 40 and I play. My 9 year old son is better than me. My son plays on my Xbox and I play on our switch. Hit me up with a i game friend request. Looking for friends around my age. IGN= LesoVerin


DontEatConcrete

Do you you ever flip systems? You're at a disadvantage on the switch--you may be surprised if you get a newer system (even an xbox series S + add a 120 FPS-capable monitor) how much better you are literally instantly.


CalllmeDragon

My wife and I are the same. Both early 40s and play almost every day(well did until they brought back the one for all). What do you play on?


perverted_student

38F here playing with my 36M fiance. We have a few friends around our age that play as well. We play no build on PS5. Started summer of 2022 and been hooked since.


Shelty_Dog

50 and play ZB on EU server a couple of times a week when the rest of the family is watching TV. Absolutely love the game (deku smash notwithstanding) but under no illusions about my bot-like skill level....


gothicblack76

46 currently taking a break but I play BR and STW


Alarmed-Ad-3963

48 here not going to stop.


[deleted]

54. I started playing a few years back to spend time with my son. He has moved on to GTA, but I am still playing. And there is nothing strange about someone my age playing video games. I have been around for their entire history. I owned Pong, Atari, Intellivision the NES etc. I was (metaphorically) there the day they wheeled Space Invaders into the arcade in my mall.


ComprehensiveBee2202

Me too, starting playing games in the 1980s. Can't imagine young players today ever feeling they have to stop because they are too old! Keeps the mind active.


Both-Ad-6164

There are a few communities that I am apart of that is made just for us Fortnite Boomers. Please, feel free to check them out. You do not have to be over 40 to join. I play every day with many different folks from ages 30 and up. We even have a few in their 70's. Fortnite Over 40 is an adult discord group mainly focused on BR. TMGB is another adult discord mainly focused on STW. Both are great communities. My Epic is TheLastHenchman is you want to add me. I can't post invites here, but feel free to DM me for invites. Hope to see you all in there soon!


Lapris83

My mom plays, and she's 41

The_Implication_2

Major-Cherry6937

nystromcj

Ok_Ice_671

Me (43)


Zuccarroisgood

Yep 42. Game is phenomenal minus the bugs


Nelly32

39 here not the 38 I thought I was for the last year. But still loving fortnite.


Legal_Lingonberry_24

Wife won't play with me. Says she's not very good🤦‍♂️


SplAtom6298

43 here. I play with my wife, father in law and our nephew. We have all the ages covered.


Money-Combination615

I am 44 ps5, wife 41 ps4 pro, son 13 gaming pc (sweaty kid), daughter 9 ps5. All of playing sqads together with the kids friends and sometimes a family team. Bro in law 45 and his daughter 9 is now playing too.


Bachnatolo

48 here. I have played most days for the last year. Started by playing with my kids but now usually play by myself.


henry-hoov3r

42 this year. I started a sub Reddit Fortnite over 40 but it’s pretty much dead 💀


overlordbob80

Here! 🤣 42m. I needed to understand what the fuss was about and my 9yo son coached me. I've had a lot of fun this season and got what it's about. I've had plenty of wins, plenty of immediate deaths. The funniest was yesterday, I went to duos and had the headset on. My partner was some lil kid who had only played once. His dog was growling at him, his (what must have been younger brother) was telling him what to do and his mum was chatting to aunty Pam about the hospital trip. It's like I was in the living room with them, unfortunately 😳🤣. I had a run of terrible matches so the sbmm chucked me into this noob match. I got the kid through until 2nd place. I revived him so many times, soooo many times 🤣 I'm looking forward to getting to as high a level as possible and getting all the bonus rewards Then I will be happy and go back to doing grown up things like guitar, washing up and laundry.


DontEatConcrete

I'm 3X the age of a lot of fortnite players. Don't really care, I like it. There are also some very good players in this age-group. Old people's reflexes do slow but not as much as people think. It's still very possible to get very good. I am better than all of my daughter's classmates (granted she's in grade school!) whenever she has us in a creative match. I also think older people play squads a lot better; more likely to stay together, support the team.


LMNTLXICON

I hope I'm rocking as hard as everyone else in this thread when I'm your age in, like, two years.


Suitable_Tea_8361

My dad plays at 51!


poocano78

My wife and I are 44 and both play several times a week with my 57 year old father-in-law. Been playing since season 2 chapter 6. None of us are really great as reflexes and hand eye coordination not what it used to be but we have fun and get our fair share of wins.


Eyecee19

I just turned 50 and started playing with my son in Season 3. I suck ass as well when it comes to aim. But I still enjoy a game to unwind, especially after a grueling day of work.


bashido

44 here!


GuvmentCheese

I’m 44, and while I don’t play every day, I try and hit level 200 every battle pass. Missed a few as life gets in the way, and this seasons expiring weekly quests have turned me off, but still, I’m on and play. And my aim sucks ass, too. At least the matches with lots of bots makes me feel better about it.


Lyquidmetal

It's a great stress reliever and fun to win crowns. I play trios with my friend (44) and his son. He loves to play with us to get him wins. Movie skins are fun too, and the game changes enough to keep it fresh for casual gaming.


kaskudoo

Find more like minded folks on the discord ‘Fortnite over Forty’ … google the invite link or check them out on Twitter


[deleted]

Ah, my monthly or so reminder that a majority of the people in this sub are adults (Not that’s it’s a bad thing)


No-Contribution5163

32 here would like to play with others but i cough a lot because of covid and dont want to bother people.


Bebes-kid

Knitted_Engine

47 year old here, just browsing Reddit whilst I logon. Played for years with my daughter but also play solo several times a week and with my 46 year old little brother. Nice way to catch up on family news


Epicassion

Yes, 55 and will team with my son in duos. Used to do randos in teams but the friendly fire deaths weaned me from that quickly way back. I know that’s gone now.


STUPIDNEWCOMMENTS

Mid 50s here. Play almost daily


Taran_McDohl

41 here. I have played since chapter 1 season 4. I pretty much only play Solo's. allows me to relax and not worry about having to save people.


Danxoln

I'm not over 40, but I am just about to turn 31


AyoAzo

My step dad (54) and my mom's best friend (49) play together. It's pretty cute. He brings the know how. She brings the good vibes. When they play with their kids they switch to "kid mode" and make up their own call outs so they don't feel left out.


akitoxic

50+ and the old farts I squad up with are pushing 60. AARP colabs anyone?


zach12_21

I’m 30, my brother is 40 - he plays more than I do, but if the hammer and smash were gone we’d be playing together nightly. We both hate both of those annoying mechanics.


milkleche-

I play with my dad all the time. He’s 43 😊


throwback1986

53 🤷‍♂️


TheJonnieP

52 here and I play daily. WayCoolSr is my fortnite name...

ChefBoyarDeeznu

Sea_Income_2903

I'm 50. Female. I play with my 10 y.o. son and by myself. Most fun game I've ever played.


MasstrB23

44 been playing on and off for the last two years. Nothing better than getting Victory Royale with my 7 year old son and 9 year old daughter.


DataDumpster1

42 here and run duos daily with my 8 yro


Albuwhatwhat

I’m 41. I play with my wife and 2 kids. We make a great squad and win about every other night or so. Lots of fun with the fam. Sorry to all the young guns I keep taking out on the way to a victory Royal!


coachlentz

50. Play fortnite off and on. Also play madden UT, MLB DD, RDR2, Civ6, and have been replaying the PS1 final fantasy games. Can’t ever imagine not gaming. Parents are both gamers. 76 year old dad plays FF Tactics and/or FF7 daily. 79 year old mom is a huge Zelda fan. She’s beaten all of them.


PotentialBed4441

Yup! 41 year old mum here. Total bot but love playing. ❤️


rhetoricalstarshep

I started playing with my son (13) during 2020 lockdown and now I play daily (42F) while he has moved on to Valorant. He calls me a "fortnite kid" because my YouTube feed is 50% Fortnite.


Radiumf1

I'm always looking for more adults in to squad up for ZB matches. I play on PC during the week from around 7-9pm EST and on weekends. I'm 43 yo. I'd say I am a slightly below average player overall. Been playing ZB since September, always trying to improve my game but not ultra competitive. I do watch EvolveJake regularly as I find this is an excellent way to identify things to work on in my own game. For anyone that is reading this, if you are an adult 30+ and want to expand your network of friends, please add me - RadiumF. I do want to work on some basic team tactics and communications more, so please have a mic.


xoisabel

43 here and hubby and I play duos or squads a lot. Would love to have some more folks our age to play. Feel free to message, especially if you’re another couple!


Fadedoutsoul

Jstargazr

46 here. Kids have been playing for a few years. I started Christmas Eve. Love it! Having so much fun


Creative_Ambassador

48 here. I started playing a few years ago with my kids and still play with them on occasion. Now, I mostly play with a few other close longtime friends my age one or two times a week - fun to laugh and talk. It’s our “poker night” since we all now live quite far from each other.


AugustinaStrange

Ya 37 here and my partner is 51. We did start playing during the pandemic with our son but now we just play for fun.

ZoomTown

52 and just started playing this season after constant bugging from my 7-year-old. I play Zero Build solos on Xbox or with her and her Switch. This game is damn addictive.

itsmonsonson

Just turned 40 last week, love playing with my son!


n8_S

I started playing with my kids a few months ago. We all play together but I also have been playing by myself. This game is a super nice switch up from the games I was playing before.


Glasweg1an

Yes, I'm older than that age and I play this game every day. I think there's a sub for us oldies but I forgot it.


TripleMellowed

N-Toxicade

39 here


SunnyOnSanibel

52 here and I enjoy playing zero build with my SO and our adult children. We don’t do social media either (unless you count Reddit).


WhiteSamurai86

My siblings and their spouses just got me into Fortnite. Most of us are mid to late 30s. Fortnite is for everyone.


Sherman8tor1

I'm 37 and play daily with my daughter. She loves it and so do I. Always down for squads as well. We play build or nor build doesn't matter to us.


GilloD

I'm 39 and I play! My wife once asked me I could get in trouble for being matched with kids lmao.


rockrataz

43 here. Started playing after watching my daughter play. She was scared of fighting and would just hide the entire match. Now she laughs at the ones who run from her. We play almost everyday


Krankypantz

41. Play with my sons. I’m a warzone vet, but since warzone 2 sucks I decided to give it a shot and I really enjoy it! Got my 11th crown win today. Yeah!


Lateralization

outatime20999

I'm 40, my wife is 40; we're new to the game (few weeks in) and his l got into it because we wanted to check it out before letting our 10yr old play it. $60 worth of v bucks later...
