Jones and each guest will be "speaking about how to change systemic racism in media, culture, and entertainment." To be part of this discussion, make sure to launch Fortnite before the showing you wish to join. Players will need to start the Battle Royale game mode, enter the Party Royale playlist, and then head to the Island's Big Screen. We The People appearing in Fortnite's Party Royale mode is another special event that follows showings of Christopher Nolan's films Batman Begins, Inception, and The Prestige, as well as an immersive Travis Scott concert/experience.
