Today is a momentous day, a large step towards having custom matchmaking seems to be coming much quicker than anticiapted. Just recently, Fortnite tweeted out some of the community will be able to test out the custom matchmaking feature. If you’d like to check out this new feature, Twitch streamer DrLupo has the honour of being the first to test it out. This feature is currently only available on PC. Hopefully it makes it way to console in the near future.
Update: It seems like the only feature of custom matchmaking right now is password locking the match, so streamers can play with their viewers. Streamers are telling their viewers what type of game mode they want to play, and the viewers who join the custom match atest to the rule sets. An example of this would be a streamer telling his viewers to drop at tilted towers with only axes being used.
Check out what custom matchmaking could look like in the future.

MAN they should of made it for the consoles too they just care for pc apparently
It’s easier to try things out on pc before rolling out to consoles, the coding is “easier”. It allows them to figure out the gist of how to do things on an easier platform. It will come to consoles, just give it a bit.
I actually saw the password locked matches feature about a month and a half ago, it showed up on my ps4 for about a day, I tried to use it a couple times, but it never worked for me.
Dr Lupo was not the first to try it out today.
