Finally, it’s here: As Epic announces via Twitter, the limited-time mode Playground has been live in Fortnite: Battle Royale since Tuesday morning, 03.07. However, there is a catch for console players!
If there is a limited time mode (LTM) in Fortnite: Battle Royale that players have long wished for, it is the Playground. Practically unlimited resources, matches lasting an hour, and a storm that only becomes truly dangerous at the end – the Playground is the adventure playground of Fortnite.
Fortnite servers crash shortly after launch: For this reason, few were surprised when the servers couldn’t handle the influx of players shortly after the mode’s release. According to Epic, they have been working hard since then and significantly improved the server infrastructure.
Now, the Playground mode is finally live. Start a match with up to three friends and hone your building skills or finally settle who is the best among you. Thanks to the respawn feature, you’ll be back in the heat of battle quickly.
If console players are wondering why aiming on consoles is so difficult, there is a reason – aim assist is missing.
No aim assist on consoles – what Epic says
The lack of aim assist on consoles was noted already at the launch of the Playground. Epic has apparently primarily been struggling with backend functionalities the past few days and therefore had no opportunity to restore aim assist on consoles.
New info about aim assist on Monday afternoon: Today, on Monday afternoon, Epic intends to provide information on when and how the problem with the missing aim assist will be resolved.
How long will the Playground mode be live? Under normal circumstances, the mode would already be gone. However, due to the immense delay, it will remain online for at least a few more days. It is also not unlikely that Epic will keep the Playground running until the end of Season 4.
Will you try the mode today? Or are you not interested in the mode?
