Marshmello took part in a groundbreaking in-game concert, inside Epic Games' Fortnite, Saturday (Feb. 2).

His virtual set -- which was the first of its kind in Fortnite and included performances of "Alone," "Gassed Up," "Check This Out," "Colors," "Flashbacks," "Everyday," "Fly" and "Happier" -- happened in the game's Pleasant Park Saturday afternoon.

"We made history today!" Marshmello, who's a known Fortnite fan, wrote on Twitter, where his name was trending during the show. "The first ever live virtual concert inside of @fortnite with millions of people in attendance. So insane, thank you epic games and everyone who made this possible!"

"So many people mad at me cuz I couldn’t bring them on stage in the game," he joked.

Fortnite offered players Marshmello-themed skins and emotes, as well as a special "Marshy Smasher" pickaxe, along with the unique event.

An encore performance will take place at 2 a.m. ET in Fortnite's Pleasant Park, or you can stream the concert below.
