Fortnite's peaceful, practice, sandbox-like 'Playground' mode is set to be taken down again next week, as Epic Games gets to work on the next version.
After some initial teething troubles, the Playground mode was finally made open for business earlier this week, allowing players to jump into a completely free map with nothing but their own imagination for company. We've already seen some pretty astonishing feats be shared online, including a complete Mario Kart-inspired track that uses walls, trolleys, and jump pads to full effect, but players will have to restrain their creativity for just a little while as Epic makes its changes.
The Playground LTM will be turned off on Thursday 12th July, with the next version planned to include new functionality that would allow team selection options. Epic shared the following list of features that could be added with this new feature:
- 1v1s and 2v2s
- Aim assist for controllers
- Editing other player’s structures
- Traps affecting teammates/enemies correctly
- Highlighting teammates on the map
- Damaging enemies with your pickaxe
Even with these changes, the Playground will be far from complete. The mode, as we know it, is described as the "first step into what a full creative mode looks like in Fortnite", so expect to see a whole lot more creativity spilling out in the future as players are given more and more tools to play around with.

Wheres the carear tab!!!!!!
It’s usefulness as a creative tool is limited by its limited time nature. Epic needs to make the whole map playable offline, preferably in split screen too so we can save our creations.
However, PGM is useful as a private server. My friends and I have had some great times playing 4-players, dropping into separate corners and having 5 minutes of peacetime before we go hunting.
@Djgoa Go ask Epic.
I'd love it if they added enemy mobs to the mode, similar to Minecraft.
@NinjaWaddleDee that would be Save the World mode. Which I hope we get eventually.
@PhilKenSebben I know, which is what I'd like more than any of this Battle Royale stuff. However, I think it would be nice if we could use our BR unlocks in a horde mode setting.
I gotta make sure to try it out before it's gone, been busy with other games + work.
@NinjaWaddleDee I agree on all that. Really hope we get StW sooner rather than later. Maybe they'll morph playground into it tho. Either way, gimme that over the BR, which I do enjoy, but prefer the other more.
My friends and I have been having a lot of fun with playground mode, and it's helped to improve my building. I hope it's not out of rotation for long.
@RadioHedgeFund sounds fun for me. I want this, just need 3 friends that play this one!! 😅
A bad news is dispensed for the closure of the fortnight games and sports for the players. Closure of the ground and writemypaper4me.org review is improved for the athletes for the enjoyment and happiness with help of the ground and facilities of the games.
