If you’re into spooky surprises, then get ready for an update that has it all!
The New “Sleep Mode” Is Here
And if you thought the news ended there, think again!
The new “Sleep Mode” feature lets players pause their game without fully leaving the match.
This means you can catch your breath or take a quick break without worrying about getting kicked out.
Starting in v31.30, Fortnite will go into Sleep Mode after a player is inactive for 15 minutes, letting your squad know you stepped away
When in Sleep Mode, Voice Chat is paused & matchmaking is canceled. This timer can be adjusted under Game ➡️ Sleep Mode & Energy Saving. pic.twitter.com/QmX9dzE24k
