While you’re running around gathering resources, fighting enemies, and building your village in Lego Fortnite, you will eventually want to give your little Lego character a rest. What better way to freshen up than with a quick nap in a comfy bed? The only issue is that you have to remember to make your bed — literally! It might not be as easy as straightening your sheets, but here’s a simple way to craft a bed in Lego Fortnite.

Making a bed can be done almost from the start of your adventures in Lego Fortnite. Once you are in your world, open the Build menu and go over to the Furniture tab. The option on the far left will be for beds, and you can take your pick of designs. Each of the basic beds will require 10 wood to craft. While you can technically place them anywhere, you should put them inside your main base.

Unlike other survival games, namely Minecraft, sleeping in a bed does not skip the night. Instead, beds will fully heal you and set that location as your new spawn point.

You can even build a bed for your friend, or potential villagers, if you’re feeling generous. Once you make a bed that you want to give to a friend, interact with the bed. This will open up the Bed Assignment menu, where you will see a list of all NPC villagers and players currently in your world. Pick who you want to give the bed to and confirm it to assign it to that person/NPC. You will need to do this in order to get characters to live in your town.

If you're a Ghost Recon fan, you've probably gotten used to one thing over the past few years: waiting for rumors to turn into announcements, waiting for leaks to be acknowledged, waiting for Ubisoft to say... well, anything at all about the future of one of its biggest tactical shooter franchises. Thankfully, that silence finally seems to be ending.

Ubisoft has confirmed that it will share Ghost Recon news on August 6, when the series celebrates its 25th anniversary. The announcement arrived shortly after fresh leaks began circulating online, prompting the company to post a brief message telling fans that more information is just around the corner.

The AI game-dev boom has a dark side: fewer jobs for the people starting out
Solo creators are thriving with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, but entry-level game roles are disappearing.

AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.
