Epic Games adds cars and trucks in new Fortnite 'Joy Ride' update

Fortnite received a fresh new update from Epic Games by the name of `Joy Ride` introducing cars on the map.

"Fortnite v13.40 issues your Joy Ride driver`s license. Wherever you drop on the Island, hop into a ride to escape the scene or simply take your squad for a spin. Get behind the wheel of the first drivable cars in Fortnite! As long as the car isn`t booted, the keys are already in the ignition," the company said in a statement.

The update includes four cars in all: the Islander Prevalent, Victor Motors Whiplash, OG Bear, and Titano Mudflap.

Players can find gas pumps or refillable gas cans all over the island to keep their motor running whole heading out on the highway.

Not on this, but each of the cars from the Joy Ride update will feature a fully functioning radio, complete with some great real-world songs.

The latest update is also expected to introduce several new locations including a Waterworld-Esque town named The Fortilla, a menacing structure titled The Authority in place of The Agency.
