Epic Games just released a statement pertaining to the Fortnite PlayStation 2021 cup. And as the name suggests, this tournament will be limited to players on PS4 and PS5 platforms only.
This is probably one of the rare moments when a Fortnite tournament is being held exclusively for the loopers on PlayStation.
Here is everything we know about the upcoming tournament.
Everything we know about the Fortnite PlayStation Cup 2021
This tournament will be held twice in this year. The first tournament goes live on October 2nd, while the second tournament is scheduled for November 11th.
It doesn't look like Epic Games will change the dates of the tournament anytime soon, but they just might reschedule the tournament due to any major disaster.
Interestingly enough, the Fortnite PlayStation Cup 2021 is going to be a Solos tournament, and it will be conducted in two rounds.
The first round will be held for 3 hours. Within these 3 hours, players will be allowed to participate in 10 games and score as much points as they can.
Here's how the point distribution looks like:
Victory Royale: 30 points
- 2nd: 25 points
- 3rd: 22 points
- 4th: 20 points
- 5th: 19 points
- 6th: 17 points
- 7th: 16 points
- 8th: 15 points
- 9th: 14 points
- 10th: 13 points
- 11th - 15th: 11 points
- 16th - 20th: 9 points
- 21st - 25th: 7 points
- 26th - 30th: 5 points
- 31st - 35th: 4 points
- 36th - 40th: 3 points
- 41st - 50th: 2 points
- 51st - 75th: 1 point
Every elimination you score in the first round will bag you 1 point each. However, if you do make it to the second round, every elimination you score will bag you 2 points.
Top 100 players in each region will advance from this stage to the second round. In the second round, players will have only 6 matches to score as much as they can.
The top performers from each region will be rewarded. The total prize pool for each tournament is a whopping $113,400.
Here is how the prize pool looks for EU, NA East, NA West and Brazil:
- 1st- $1,200
- 2nd- $1,100
- 3rd- $1,000
- 4th- $800
- 5th- $725
- 6th- $600
- 7th- $550

- 9th- $450
- 10th - 25th- $400
- 26th - 50th- $300
- 51st - 64th- $200
The prize pool is slightly different for the Oceania, Middle East and Asia regions:
- 1st- $650
- 2nd- $600
- 3rd- $550
- 4th- $500
- 5th- $450

Although it doesn't look like much to be honest, but it's definitely somewhere to start from. Interestingly enough, players from Japan aren't allowed to participate in the Fortnite PlayStation Cup 2021.
