Hey all ~
Winter Royale was operated through the tournament system and featured more than 9,000,000 players across North America and Europe competing during the two-day qualifiers. We’re really excited to run more events like this in the future, providing players with opportunities to earn recognition by competing directly alongside the best of the best in Fortnite.
We’ve seen some questions as to why there aren’t any tournaments scheduled currently and wanted to drop in provide a quick update on the schedule for in-game tournaments for the next couple months.
During January we’ll be transitioning to a new tournament backend system which will help enable features such as live in-game leaderboards during events, support for tournaments to take place across multiple knockout rounds, and allow us to create a richer variety of events to keep the experience fresh and exciting. Fewer in-game tournaments will be scheduled in early January as we transition to the new backend system and test the new functionality, but we anticipate quickly ramping up to a full tournament offering utilizing the new features.
We’re looking forward to continuing to update the system to support a more varied offering of competitions, improving competitive integrity, and celebrating the accomplishments of competitors.
Expect additional communication around competitive Fortnite and competition in general in the coming weeks!
