Our goal with the new matchmaking system is to create fairer matches for all of our players, which includes special considerations for each platform. The new matchmaking system, however, accounts for various skill levels across different platforms and control inputs, and groups players of similar skill levels together. With the rollout, we’ve seen a lot of discussion about potentially unfair competitive advantages from pooling players together across platforms and input devices.

So far, we've rolled out the new matchmaking system to select regions for Solo mode, and Duos is expected to arrive later this week. The 10.40.1 patch included key improvements to The Combine playlist and the Zone Wars Limited Time Mode. In the meantime, we’ve implemented new changes. This also means an additional week to complete your Battle Pass, so jump in and lock down all those Season X rewards!

Season X has been extended one week to conclude on Sunday, October 13. But in case you missed in the Patch Notes, we’ve got an important announcement to share regarding Season X. It’s time for an update on some conversations we started last week: Fortnite Matchmaking and Bots, along with the new control settings and The Combine playlist.
