Snoop Dogg is the new headlining act in Fortnite Festival .

The rapper performed a virtual concert in Times Square on Friday night .

The collaboration is part of a plan to more deeply integrate music into the game.

The game's creator says Travis Scott ’s “Astronomical” concert showed the scale of virtual concerts.

Epic tried to create a virtual tour stop for artists in 2020 , but the effort has largely fizzled out.

The company continues to try to push Fortnite beyond its battle royale roots.

In addition to virtual concerts, there are emotes, in-game radio stations, and individual tracks you can buy to play in Festival.
