The trailer for Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending new blockbuster Tenet will debut in a bizarre new medium.
In addition to the usual releases on social media at 5 p.m. PT Thursday, the mysterious film’s latest trailer will also appear at the same time inside Fortnite, Epic Games’ hit online shooter.
The trailer will appear on the big screen inside the Fortnite’s new “Party Royale” mode, a competition-free version of the game. The trailer will screen at the top of every hour, Epic announced in a tweet.
Grab a front row seat in Party Royale for a world premiere!
Catch the latest trailer for Christopher Nolan’s @TENETFilm at the top of every hour on the big screen starting at 8 PM ET.

Fortnite — once a free-to-play battle royale game — has hosted numerous in-game events, such as concerts by Marshmello and Travis Scott. The latter’s concert series earlier this spring drew a record-setting 27 million players to log on and watch.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
