The ranking system and the drive to reach the 'Hall of Fame' could encourage extended play sessions. While not the primary focus, the 'Users Interact' descriptor suggests that players can communicate, which may lead to exposure to unfamiliar individuals. The competitive nature of the game may also introduce mild toxicity.
This experience is scored on 9 dimensions adapted from the 50-dimension Ludograph rubric. Risk category weights match the rubric (Compulsion-loop design 45%, Monetization 30%, Social 25%); per-category sub-items are aggregated into a single score.

Bottom line first
Fortnite Battle Royale has unfiltered voice chat with strangers enabled by default. Go to Epic Games account settings → Parental Controls and disable voice chat, or set it to friends-only, before your child plays any online mode.
Fortnite is five different games in one launcher. Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Festival, Rocket Racing, and Creative each have different age-appropriateness and risk profiles. Your child may start in LEGO Fortnite and drift into Battle Royale. Check which modes they're actually playing.
V-Bucks are the shared currency across all modes. The Battle Pass, cosmetic bundles, and in-map purchases all use V-Bucks. Many Creative maps surface V-Buck spending prompts. Set spending limits in Epic Games account settings or use a prepaid card with a fixed balance.
Creative map content can change after our rating. Each map is rated by our AI at a point in time, and creators can update maps. We recommend periodically checking which maps your child plays and watching a few minutes of gameplay with them.
Action: Epic Games account → Parental Controls → set a PIN, disable voice chat, and cap monthly V-Buck spending. Takes under 5 minutes and significantly reduces risk across all Fortnite modes.
