Fortnite community,

In our effort to provide a better player experience new servers have just launched for Brazil and Asia. We are excited to take one more step forward in strengthening our global community and providing a better experience for all players around the globe, one region at a time!

Get ready to drop into the arena solo or with a squad. The duos playlist will be disabled at first, but will be re-enabled once we are confident we can provide a great experience for all players.

Both Brazil and Asia servers will support PS4 and PC at launch. 

Players will automatically connect to the regions with the lowest ping, but you can still manually select a server region. Please follow the steps below if you would like to change your matchmaking region.

  • Navigate to the Main Menu in the top right corner of the screen.
  • Select Settings.
  • Select the Game tab.
  • Change your matchmaking region using the left and right arrow indicators and select your desired region.
Experiencing issues connecting to your region? Reach out to player support here.
