A:AnswerYes. This console has a dock that it comes with that hooks up onto your tv. Undock it to use on the go yet a case is preferred if you’re planning to take it with you to a relatives house or if there are small children. There are free games to play like you mentioned like Fortnite, as well as others like Dauntless and Warframe. If you buy the membership, there are other games you can play for free like all the old school Mario games as well as some demos that are available for certain games. But as for games, you do have the option to buy either physical or digital. The console does come with 32 Gb’s of memory but most games are usually about 10 Gb or more so a microSD card is best for digital games if you want to go that route. It all depends on what you want.
