Custom Games for Fortnite Won\u2019t Be Here Anytime Soon as Epic Games Provides an Update on Playground Mode u\/Jaguar115An Epic Games employee has responded to questions about custom games coming to Fortnite Battle Royale, confirming that the development team is still working on \u201cPlayground Mode\u201d and that it won\u2019t be the custom feature that everyone was hoping for. The Fortnite Battle Royale development team announced that they were working on a LTM named \u201cPlayground Mode\u201d in their \u201cState of Development\u201d press release on May 24th. While there is very little information about what Playground Mode will actually do, the developers confirmed that it is their \u201cinitial step into what a creative mode looks like in Fortnite\u201d and that it can be used to \u201cpractice, strategize, and enjoy yourself\u201d. For competitive players, or just casual players that want to practice and hone their skills, the lack of custom games or party games means that it can be difficult to make the most of their time and the announcement of Playground Mode was met with excitement.

Epic Games employee JShredz responded to a question on Reddit on June 4th to say that the development team are \u201cstill working on it\u201d but that they needed to make \u201csignificant necessary back-end improvements\u201d first. He also confirmed, and explained the current reasoning for, Playground Mode not being available to play offline and used as a practice tool on private servers. Apparently interaction and communication with the servers are \u201ccentral to how the game is run\u201d which means that the mode won\u2019t run properly if you cut things off from the server. With these bombshells it looks like we could be waiting for a good while longer before fully customizable\/private matches are available. This is once again a knock on the ever-growing competitive Fortnite community as tournament organizers, players, and teams continue to have to find work-arounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
