PartyNextDoor to headline interactive concert experience in Fortnite
The event takes place on a custom-designed island tailored to PartyNextDoor's creative vision. According to Sony's announcement, the experience begins at the top of Toronto's CN Tower, before transporting players via private jet to a stylized South Beach setting. The virtual journey culminates in a recreated version of LIV at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, where an exclusive after-party will take place. Players can engage in various interactive elements, including scavenger hunts, mini-games, and parkour challenges throughout the experience.
Gamers can access the custom island using the Fortnite Island Code: 7024-5026-8823.
PartyNextDoor's avatar will perform dynamic renditions of several hits, including 'Break from Toronto,' which will also be released as a Jam Track in the Fortnite Shop. Additional featured songs include 'M a k e I t T o T h e M o r n i n g' and 'Somebody Loves Me.'
'When the opportunity to create our own world came up, it was a natural fit,' PartyNextDoor said in a statement on Thursday, noting his enthusiasm as a longtime Fortnite fan.
PartyNextDoor, the first artist signed to OVO Sound, has collaborated with major artists like Drake, Rihanna, and DJ Khaled. His songwriting credits include chart-topping hits like 'Work' and 'Wild Thoughts.' He's currently on tour in Europe following the release of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with Drake, which recently topped both the Billboard 200 and Apple Music charts.
The Fortnite event continues Epic Games' tradition of music-driven experiences, following similar performances by Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Marshmello.

Drake cancels Australia and New Zealand tour dates
Drake has officially canceled his postponed concerts in Australia and New Zealand, disappointing fans who had been awaiting new dates since the initial delays earlier this year. The affected shows, which were part of his Anita Max Win Tour, had originally been scheduled for March but were previously postponed due to what was described as a 'scheduling conflict.' According to a statement released by Live Nation Australia on Tuesday, the concerts in Brisbane, Sydney, and Auckland will no longer go ahead. 'Live Nation Australia regrets to inform you that the previously postponed Drake shows in Australia and New Zealand have now been officially cancelled,' the company said on its website. 'Despite extensive efforts to find a solution, rescheduling within the necessary timeframe was not possible. Drake remains committed to returning and performing these shows when his schedule permits.' The Canadian rapper had already completed performances in several Australian cities, including Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, back in February. However, the planned second leg of the tour has now been scrapped entirely. Full refunds will be issued to all ticket holders. Drake has yet to make a personal statement regarding the cancellation. He is currently continuing his Some Special Shows 4 U tour with fellow artist PartyNextDoor, with the next concert set for Wednesday night in Amsterdam. Fans across Australia and New Zealand expressed frustration online over the lack of direct communication from Drake and the long wait for updates. Despite the setback, many remain hopeful he will eventually return for a future leg of the tour.

Grow a Garden becomes one of Roblox's most played games as millions engage with virtual gardening
Grow a Garden, a farming simulation on Roblox, has quickly risen to become one of the platform's most visited games. Since its March 2025 release, the title has surpassed 9 billion visits and achieved record-breaking concurrent player counts, overtaking games such as Fortnite and PUBG. Developed by Janzen Madsen and Splitting Point Studios in New Zealand, the game originated from a Roblox user project and was later expanded by a professional team. The gameplay allows users to grow virtual plants and pets, purchase seeds with in-game currency (Sheckles), and even trade or steal from other gardens. Offline growth features and a calm in-game environment have helped differentiate it from more action-heavy titles. Fans credit its success to the game's accessibility, strategic progression, and social elements. Live events and competitive leaderboards also contribute to its appeal, particularly among younger users who enjoy comparing progress with friends. Many of the game's players are aged 13 and under, according to Roblox data. Some players have also highlighted the in-game economy and Robux purchases as a significant part of gameplay, allowing for faster progression and access to rare items. Meanwhile, critics have questioned the game's educational value and its use of paid mechanics. Some netizens have expressed concern over monetisation and its potential effect on children's financial understanding. Although some appreciate the game's relaxing pace and satisfying growth mechanics, it remains uncertain whether Grow a Garden encourages real-life gardening or financial understanding in its young player base.
