Introducing the Playground

This week's Fortnite patch is bringing new ways to play

Fortnite’s new Playground mode could very well be arriving in the next patch, scheduled for tomorrow, June 26. Playground mode’s been teased for some time now, giving players free reign of the map for the duration of the match without any of the regular battle royale pressures.

Playground limited-time mode has been listed on the Fortnite update board as “coming soon”. Announcements that typically gain this title generally arrive in the next patch. This limited-time mode is meant to test out free-form gameplay within Fortnite. If it’s successful, we could see a more permanent version appear in the game later on. The new Playground mode is intended for players to practice their strategies without frustration. Friendly fire has been enabled, but if you die, you respawn immediately. This makes it a great opportunity for players to experiment with building projects or just mucking about with friends on the map.

Will you be giving Playground mode a go, or are your more interested in competitive pursuits? Let us know in the comments.
