> The Harris/Walz campaign stakes out a claim to Freedom Town in Fortnite as the Presidential campaign winds down.

> As of today, there are seven days left in the campaign for the U.S. Presidential election. Now, the Democratic ticket headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is courting the gamer vote by launching their own map on Fortnite.

> Fortnite players can access the Harris/Walz map by entering a code, 733155366547. The name of the map is Freedom Town, USA, and it may be the most pointed political use of Fortnite since it launched in 2015. Harris’ team also posted a quick trailer for Freedom Town, including a look at some fighters in patriotic gear.
