In a final effort to get out the youth vote, Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has debuted a new Fortnite map called Freedom Town, USA in game.
The campaign peppered parts of Harris’ platform into the map, with sections based on things such as tax cuts and affordable housing. It is the first time in American history that a politician has used a Fortnite map as a campaign tool.
The campaign ad takes advantage of a relatively new feature in Fortnite, that being the ability to create a custom game map using the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).
With the U.S. Presidential election less than ten days away, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making one last push to sway young voters, a bloc that historically sees low voter turnout. It is not the first time Harris’ campaign has used video games to reach potential voters, with Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz playing Madden 25 with congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while discussing Harris’ campaign platform.
