Soulja Boy is still going strong with his console launches even after Nintendo stepped in to stop his line of ‘premium consoles’. This time Soulja Boy has claimed that his new console will be able to play Fortnite since it is the most hyped game of this generation.
Soulja Boy started his console selling journey back in 2018 when he listed two Chinese consoles on his store for sale which were essentially Chinese emulators disguised as consoles. Soulja Boy listed them as Soulja Console and Soulja Handheld and obviously listed them as premium consoles with a premium price tag.
Soulja Boy also later listed a Chinese knock-off Game Boy on his store which featured 500 games on it. Since these consoles were all related to genuine consoles so naturally Soulja Boy had to take them down once Nintendo decided to take the matter in their own hands. After all this fiasco, Soulja Boy is back again with new claims and a new console.
He recently gave an interview to Everyday Struggle in which he showed his latest console which apparently has 800 games already loaded on the console. These games range from PlayStation titles, Game Boy titles and Sega Genesis titles. During the same interview, Soulja Boy also mentions that all these games are licensed which is very weird.
You can check out the interview below. We have set the time limit where the console is under discussion.
Now the main thing to note here is that Soulja Boy is saying that the current console is indeed an emulator that can play three different types of console game and they are all licensed. When specifically asked about Fortnite, Soulja Boy says that he is working on it and his next console will be able to play the game.
On this comment, Dualshockers actually asked Epic Games whether they are planning to release Fortnite on Soulja Boy’s upcoming console and they denied by saying
No, you can’t play Fortnite on a rooted or jailbroken device due to anti-cheat measures.
This statement clearly shows that Fortnite is not coming on any Soulja Boy’s future consoles despite his claims and his next console is indeed going to be a emulator with his fancy branding on it. We have no idea when Soulja Boy is going to end this emulator selling but we know that Fortnite is not coming to any of this future consoles.
