Epic recently announced the January 2023 Fortnite PlayStation Cups where players can earn a total of $230,000 in prize money.
Fortnite features competitions for all players in addition to competitions specific to only PlayStation players. These specific types of cups allow Fortnite PlayStation players to compete with others who have the same game input.
Sometimes it can be tough for PlayStation Controller players to compete against Keyboard and Mouse (KBM) players. This is due to KBM advantages such as edit on release. However, PlayStation players can make up for this with better close-range aim control.
Fortnite players will be able to compete in two PlayStation Qualifier Cups, one on January 20, 2023, and one on January 21, 2023. Both qualifiers will culminate in the January PlayStation Cup Finals on January 22. The Finals will feature top players from the Qualifier Cups who will compete for a share of $230,200.
FORTNITE JANUARY PLAYSTATION CUPS (JANUARY 20, 21, AND 22)
Only eligible players on PS4™ or PS5™ consoles can participate in the January PlayStation Cups. In both Qualifier Cups, players will have the opportunity to compete for the GG Iced Emoticon and a spot in the January PlayStation Cup Finals on January 22.
The first January PlayStation Cup Qualifier will feature Battle Royale Solo on January 20, and the second January PlayStation Cup Qualifier will feature Wild Storm Solo on January 21. You can expect faster early Storm circles and new Storm behavior in the mid-game in Wild Storm. The January PlayStation Cup Finals will feature Battle Royale Solo on January 22.
