Fortnite is the battle royale game developed by Epic Games and released in 2017, where named locations and landmarks shape how players navigate each match. The Lighthouse refers to one of those recognizable map spots, and clips named for it circulate among players who record and share short in-game audio moments. As Fortnite edits spread across video and soundboard communities, location-based cues like this became shorthand for exploration and spotting something far away. It remains used because Fortnite players instantly recognize the reference, even outside a full match.
