Epic Games has announced the exciting details for Fortnite FNCS 2023, which promises to be a tournament unlike any other. With uncertainty surrounding the professional scene, this news couldn’t have come at a better time for players and fans alike. The tournament will run for nearly the entire year, culminating in a Global Championship in-person event that is sure to be a highlight of the competitive Fortnite calendar.

One of the most significant changes for Fortnite FNCS 2023 is that it will be a Duos-only game. Matches will occur throughout the year, across different Seasons in Chapter 4, with certain “Majors” being easier than others due to the prevalent loot pool. Each Major will have three different stages, including a Weekly Competition, a Surge Week, and the Grand Finals.
