It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out, but AMD has seemingly confirmed that its next lineup of graphics cards will be the Radeon RX 6000 series. The Easter egg was discovered by a Fortnite streamer (via HotHardware) who entered the number “6000” into one of AMD’s Battle Arena maps, which were co-designed by Fortnite Creative Island modder MAKAMAKES.
Doing so grants the following message: “SOMETHING BIG IS COMING TO THE AMD BATTLE ARENA!” Big Navi, right? You bet.
AMD’s Frank Azor has teased that there could be even more “Big Navi”-related items to dig up in Fortnite. “Right under your noses,” he tweeted. “Got to wonder what else we’ve already put out there that you just haven’t discovered yet…”

You can check out a video of AMD’s Battle Arena (map code 8651-9841-1639) below, which looks like an especially great time for Fortnite fans who are loyal to Ryzen and Radeon. What’s interesting is that one map is even shaped like a video card (not that a rectangular shape is special or out of the ordinary for a map in any way, but…).
