The Fortnite team at Epic Games announced today Fortnite players residing in Russia are no longer eligible to participate in Fortnite competitive tournaments that feature cash prizes. The ruling will go into effect on March 11.
Per the announcement, players will still be able to “earn in-game cosmetic prizes.” Any Russian players that have not claimed winnings from previous events will have to complete the prize verification process before March 22. Any unclaimed cash prizes will be “frozen until Epic’s payment service provider is able to resume prizing support for players residing in Russia.”
