Epic Games Employee Provides an Update on the Playground Mode Downtime, Explains Why It\u2019s Taking So Long Epic Games has posted another update about the eventual return of Playground Mode but it still isn\u2019t good news for Fortnite Battle Royale fans. As one of the most highly anticipated additions to Fortnite in recent memory, the Playground Limited Time Mode should have been a massive success. Unfortunately it was disabled just hours after it launched on June 27th as part of the V4.5 patch that also introduced the Dual Pistols. The game\u2019s developers later stated that they needed to \u201ccontinue testing our matchmaking improvements\u201d but sounded confident that an issue would be found in the near future. Unfortunately, almost a week since the initial problems, Playground Mode is still not available for the Fortnite community to enjoy and Epic Games\u2019 MrPopoTFS has now taken to Reddit to reveal that the wait will continue. Although tests over the weekend were \u201cpromising\u201d, the post explains that the developers still need to investigate further and states that it is \u201chard to know whether we\u2019ll have to make any additional system changes in order to meet our test goals right now\u201d MrPopoTFS has also linked earlier posts where another employee (Jshredz) went into more detail about why it\u2019s taking so long to get Playground Mode back online and what the issues currently are. The first one, posted on June 28th, explains that the Playground LTM launch was extremely popular and put too much of a strain on the matchmaking system. The next post expands on that explanation and reiterates how difficult it is to make matchmaking function \u201cup to 100 times faster than it needs to for the base modes\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
