Cath Bowie played Mario Kart, Fifa, and Minecraft with her grandkids before being introduced to Fortnite.

A grandmother who live streams playing video game s has said when she was introduced to popular title Fortnite, it was “love at first sight”. Cath Bowie, a 76-year-old grandma from Moray, played popular games like Mario Kart, Fifa and Minecraft with her two grandchildren for years before her grandson, Lewis, 24, introduced her to Fortnite.

Ms Bowie, who has been playing Fortnite - a survival game in which players also fight off zombie-like creatures and defend objects with traps and fortifications - for seven years, said: “I just went into my grandson’s bedroom, where he was playing with his PS4 and I saw Fortnite. “My grandson finds it all rather amusing actually, not so much that I play but that I actually stream it,” Ms Bowie said. “He hasn’t seen my room with all the Brannboll furniture in it, but he will at Christmas time, and he’s going to be green with envy that grandma has got all this fantastic stuff. He’s not getting any of it.”

"They are fantastic, I just adore my community. The thing that I really like is, some folk have really very bad days in their life. Some folk are not very well, maybe have got some issues, and there is always somebody there to support them.”
