Now you can call while scoring a Battle Royale with the Houseparty app. You can video and voice chat with your friends while playing the 100 player Fortnite game. This app is integrated with the actual game, so there’ll be no guessing who’s who, and who’s where between your phone and your game. Everything is mixed in quite well for both Fortnite and Houseparty, and setting it up is a cinch. Even if you never use it again, a free wrap is a free wrap. So let’s get into it!
