Fortnite is reportedly adding another new update to Battle Royale that introduces proximity chat for all users. That means firefights are about to get a whole lot more intense once the feature goes live.
According to prominent Fortnite leakers @Loolo_WRLD and @Wensoing, the proximity chat feature is coming to Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode soon. It will be optional, so players can choose to enable or disable it whenever they want.
This addition marks a completely new direction for the Battle Royale mode, and it could spark some interesting conversations, especially considering how Fortnite is largely played by younger audiences. Fans have been asking for a proximity chat feature for years, but it was never implemented until now.
Some believe this is a terrible idea, especially since it allows anyone to talk without restrictions. On the flip side, it encourages communication, helps players make friends, and adds a new layer of interaction and funny moments to the game. That said, in a game like Fortnite, it could easily become a breeding ground for bullies and toxicity.
Regardless of which way it goes, this change is set to be a major shift for Battle Royale. We’ll likely see a rise in both positive and negative player interactions around the world. Many are comparing it to Call of Duty’s own proximity chat system, where things can escalate from zero to a hundred in the middle of a match.
The feature hasn’t been officially confirmed by Epic yet, and there’s no release date at the moment.
In the meantime, Fortnite’s latest update introduces a brand-new Power Rangers Cup, featuring iconic characters like the Red Ranger and Pink Ranger. For more details on how to unlock their outfits, check out our guide.
