Getting a PlayStation 5 is not that easy. Accordingly, the first prize in the upcoming Fortnite tournament is likely to be quite coveted.
That’s the thing with the PS5: Anyone who has been following the gaming world a bit over the past few weeks will have noticed fairly quickly: Getting one of the next-gen consoles is quite difficult.
- Ordering or buying the PS5 was like a mammoth task
- There were also annoying topics like scammers who apparently made a fortune off the new consoles selling them at exorbitant prices
If you really want one anyway? Then the upcoming Fortnite tournament might be worth a try. But, it should be said beforehand: Snagging the PS5 there is likely to be quite difficult as well.
This is how the tournament for the PS5 in Fortnite works
What kind of tournament is this? The “Fortnite Generations Cup” has been announced in Fortnite. It takes place on December 18 in a total of 7 regions around the world. In Europe, the tournament will be held between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
Who can participate? The tournament is not held on all platforms, but only on the PlayStation variants – that is, on the PS4 and also the PS5.
Another limitation: All players who have already reached Level 30 and have two-factor authentication activated can participate. You can find more about the tournament on the Epic Games website.
PS4 players can try to earn an upgrade, and PS5 owners will receive a second console. A PS5 would make a great Christmas gift or could be sold at a high price.
This is how to win: In each of the regions, there is a PS5 as the main prize. This means: One has to score the most points on a European-wide level to secure the console. Therefore, anyone who wants to get it will have to leave a lot of competition behind.
For placements up to 2,400, there are at least some cosmetic items in the form of a new outfit and back accessories to be won.
If Fortnite is not your thing at all, but you still want a PS5, you might want to keep an eye on these retailers.
