Parents concerned about the amount of time their children spend playing Fortnite can now breathe a sigh of relief, as Epic Games has introduced new parental control features. This update allows parents to set specific time limits for how long their children can engage in the popular battle royale game. The introduction of these controls is part of an ongoing effort to create a healthier gaming environment for younger players.
In Pakistan, where Fortnite has a significant player base, these features have been welcomed by parents who have long struggled with managing their children’s screen time. The new controls also allow parents to monitor in-game spending, ensuring that their children don’t make unauthorized purchases. Parents can now set daily or weekly playtime limits, helping maintain a balanced routine between gaming, education, and other activities.
Fortnite’s impact on young minds has been widely debated across various countries, including Pakistan. Experts argue that while gaming can enhance cognitive skills, excessive screen time can negatively affect academic performance and social interactions. By giving parents the tools to moderate playtime, the gaming company is acknowledging these concerns and working towards responsible gaming.
