As of today, there are seven days remaining in the U.S. Presidential election campaign. The Democratic ticket, featuring Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is now targeting the gamer vote by introducing their own map on Fortnite. Players can access the Harris/Walz map by entering the code 733155366547. The map, named Freedom Town, USA, represents one of the most overt political uses of Fortnite since its launch in 2015. Harris' team has also released a brief trailer showcasing Freedom Town, including glimpses of fighters dressed in patriotic attire.
Freedom Town is designed to highlight Harris' campaign promises, particularly those aimed at small businesses and first-time homebuyers, as well as her commitment to affordable housing. Additionally, several Fortnite content creators, such as Jordan "Huskerss" Thomas, MODELMORG, Himalyahs, and Khairi "Kdot" Harris, will host dedicated streams within Freedom Town. Although Harris may not be an avid gamer, Governor Walz has shared that he was a devoted fan of the Sega Dreamcast, especially the game Crazy Taxi, over two decades ago. Recently, Walz played Crazy Taxi during a stream with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, where he mentioned a Crazy Taxi mod featuring him as a playable character.
So far, the Republican campaign, led by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, has not responded with a Fortnite map of their own. With the election just a week away, the campaign will soon come to an end.
