To its credit, the in-game stadium itself is an amazing feat. The eerily empty stands and silent VIP areas didn’t feel too far off from Dawn of the Dead’s abandoned mall. I eventually crossed paths with a handful of players in some minigames, but not enough to make the space feel as bustling as I had hoped for.Īs I explored every detail of the intricately designed space, I couldn’t help but feel like I was the protagonist of a zombie movie. Rather than finding human players, I was greeted by a repetitive beat perpetually playing over the loudspeakers. Instead, I plopped right in front of a giant stadium with no one in sight.
#GTA VI SUPERBOWL UPDATE#
I logged into the game on Monday shortly after the update launched and dropped into the mode expecting a huge party with a server full of players bustling around.
The Super Bowl installation is a far lonelier affair. It felt like strangers were all together in the same collective crowd in a musical moment that felt both familiar and forward-thinking. Last spring’s in-game Travis Scott concert was a genius alternative to live shows that had the internet buzzing. Fortnite has done an excellent job throughout the pandemic at providing creative social experiences. I initially had some high hopes for the mode when hearing about it. After spending some time in the digital arena, it quickly became a sobering reminder of the social gaps video games aren’t able to fill during this health crisis. The stunt is a noble attempt to replicate some of the joys of Super Bowl weekend, but there’s a somewhat depressing downside to it. Players can log in and explore the massive installation, completing small quests and playing football-inspired minigames. The collaboration between Epic Games and Verizon adds a whole arena, inspired by the Raymond James Stadium, to the game. This year, players can visit an ambitious football fan experience in the battle royale game’s creative mode.
