Fortnite debuted its Fortnite Festival game in early December, which allows users to “play” the music of certain songs in a similar way to previous video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
The Weeknd was a featured performer in the Fortnite Festival game, and with the first season set to end on February 22, this video looks to be a final treat for fans.
Fans can watch the video by heading to the Fortnite Festival, the Discover menu, and searching for the Fortnite Festival Jam stage (not the main stage).
Once there, fans will find a viewing area dedicated exclusively to this new music video which will be available throughout the weekend.
Fans will also be able to stream Popular within the game, as the song is now available as a Jam Track.
The song begins with Madonna singing: “I’ve seen the devil on Sunset in every face and in every place.”
The Weeknd bursts into his verses dressed all in black, singing both inside and outside a palatial estate.

Last month, after the song continued to do well on the charts, an EP was released with four additional versions of the song.
