Epic Games have announced a new Fortnite PlayStation cup.
We haven’t had a major Fortnite cup or tournament since the release of chapter 2 season 8. Last season, there were numerous cups that allowed players to win cosmetics for free before they were available to purchase in the item shop.
We’ve had some Fortnite cups that are part of a collaboration including the Marvel Super Series cup. We’ve also had the PlayStation Celebration and Generations Cup previously and now Epic have announced another cup in partnership with PlayStation. Here’s everything you need to know.
