The Battle Royale boom is taking over the gaming world. Rooster Teeth's Ashley Jenkins joins Cheddar to break down the massive success of "Fortnite" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds." The phenomenon led Take-Two Interactive's CEO to weigh in on whether "Grand Theft Auto" and "Red Dead Redemption 2" would ever take part in the trend.
