So if I knew that somehow a million people would read this, maybe I would have been just a little 🤏 more cautious with my optimism… 😅
That said I couldn’t be prouder of the team for what they’ve created with Season 2. What I love is I literally see the team and everyone’s impact when playing. So many firsts, an all new gameplay loop with Rivalries, the Showdown Community event (#TeamFoundation ftw! 🪨) each Act delivering a unique player experience, revisiting Zero Build to do a huge pass for the Community, a first person weapon, the banging Overwatch collaboration with our friends at Blizzard and so much more.
Just to speak personally for a sec; I really hope you’ve enjoyed Season 2 and that my initial… bold claim wasn’t too far off the mark, and leaves you excited about Season 3 ahead. Season 3 has big shoes to fill following Season 2, so buckle up - as we are licking the stamp and full SENDING it 💪
See you in the loop 🫡

I’m going to go ahead and say how I feel. This is just my personal opinion but from what I have seen, I feel the Fortnite team have made a season where, on reflection, Season 2 will be considered a top 5 of *ALL TIME* contender when it’s over. Bookmark this! 🤝 🔖

@ErikLeary1 @JustTeddii Bro fr im in the same boat as you. I want to play with my friends but they don’t want to play with me anymore cause it puts us in my lobbies and they’re getting stomped every match. It’s not fair to anyone who wants to play with friends and actually have fun
English
@JustTeddii Can we pleaseeeeeee get a SBMM update? I convinced my 2 casual friends to come play but since I'm a "sweat" it put us in super sweaty lobbies and they had absolutely no fun. Make it some kind of average again please!!!
English
@JustTeddii Add back NA East and NA West, also make sbmm take the average of everyone in the party instead of favoring the player with the best stats to match you up for a game.
Would be a major win if that stuff happens

I’ll write a longer response later but for now…
*removes professional developer hat*
**ahem**
LFGGGGGGGG!
This Zero Build update started as a small-team labour of love effort with the simple goal to make Zero Build the very best it can be.
We hope you love it like we do 🤝

@RyanFer74138038 @JustTeddii Literally pointing out the huge player count loss dumb fuck🤡

Congratulations, you completed it!
Nice team work, Community 🤝

🟪 Following last week's buffs, we’re reducing the Cube Rifle’s environment damage and increased ammo cost to address its effectiveness at clearing cover ahead of the Reload Elite Series.
This adjustment is live now in Battle Royale and Reload.
English
@FortniteStatus @diamondpearl007 It’s skill based matchmaking. It’s favoring the player in the party with the best stats making it not fun for friends who aren’t as good. My friends no longer want to play cause they’re put in sweaty ass lobbies and get stomped every game
Revert sbmm to what it was before 12/9

@diamondpearl007 Hi! Could you share an image of the error you see when looking for a match?
Also, let us know your current platform. 🔎

🗡️ We've adjusted the Reforged Infinity Blade to deal more damage. You can now shing shing & eliminate someone in two swings!
English
@FortniteStatus You guys are fucking retarded. Instead of fixing the game you adjust shit that doesn’t need adjusting

@Unsensible_ @MrLustFn You’re a weird mother fucker if you don’t see anything wrong with being a furry
English
@MrLustFn Motherfucker it doesnt matter what people do on their own time as long as it aint illegal nothings even wrong with being a furry they dont identify as an animal they just like dressing up like one. Didnt you pretend to be a woman for clout?
English
@TimSweeneyEpic Is the Fortnite team also aware of the huge player count loss? Most notably in December 2025 when the terrible sbmm change happened? You’re a blind fool if you don’t realize that change is a playing factor into why the game is so shit lately
English
The Fortnite team is aware of the bug and is working to fix it.

❗️We're aware that players may not be able to log into or matchmake in Fortnite. We'll provide an update when we have one.

@TheRealXShadesX @M4rshallBTW @Fortnite Fr bro I’m getting these sweaty ass lobbies every single match (including solos) then these big streamers get literal bots or people that have actually 0 clue how to play.
Doesn’t make sense to me cause I’m not good at the game but I’m put with people who have 5000+ wins
English
@M4rshallBTW @Fortnite Man it’s fucking hilarious how Ship and other streamers keep posting about how they keep getting bots in their game yet me you and my friends hardly ever do. Feels like FNCS. Pretty damn suspicious
English
How much longer are @fortnite gonna be stubborn with this SBMM. The longer they ignore this and think it will 'go away' the less chance they have of player that left returning IF they fix it. Gamers hate ignorance, when its been raised over and over without acknowledgment.
English
@FortniteStatus This game is literally unplayable. I’m going up against people every match with well over 5000 wins and I don’t even have 1000
For the love of god fix the sbmm

✅ We're back! The outage has been resolved and you can jump back into Fortnite again.
