Topgolf is stepping into the metaverse with Fortnite’s UEFN platform, turning its sports-entertainment experience into a fully playable digital world.
What’s actually happening
Topgolf has launched Topgolf Universe on Fortnite UEFN, transforming its iconic driving range games into a virtual experience. Players can tee off, race, and explore inside Fortnite’s expansive world.
The launch is powered by GameSquare’s Zoned agency, with Fortnite pros Bugha and Clix introducing the map to their combined 13.3M Twitch followers. Players can also unlock real-world rewards—promo codes for discounted gameplay at U.S. Topgolf venues and a chance to win the coveted Topgolf Black Card (free gameplay for life).
