The PlayStation Cup(s) will take place on Oct. 2 and an unspecified date in November 2021. It will only be open to Fortnite account holders on the PlayStation 4/5.
This is a Solo-only competition with two distinct rounds—with the first reliant on the second. In Round 1, competitors will have three hours to complete 10 matches and collect as many points as they can. Only the top 100 with the highest scores will advance to Round 2. Once they’ve advanced, they’ll need to place in the top percentile of those players over the course of six matches.
To enter, players will need to have a PlayStation Fortnite account at level 30 or above. They’ll need to have two-factor authentication enabled and have registered for the cup in-game by its start date.
