Epic Games
All of the Fortnite players out there who have been grinding on PS4 will finally have something to show for it with this weekend’s Celebration Cup.
This tournament is exclusive to PS4 players, so there’s no need to fear about PC players coming over with their superior framerates.
This isn’t the first platform-exclusive Fortnite tournament Epic Games has held and it doesn’t seem like it’ll be the last.
Fortnite has proven to have a lot of staying power, and it even features a strong playerbase across every platform, which is something that not every game can say.
This Celebration Cup is completely free for players to participate in, and here’s exactly how they’ll be able to do that.
How to Play in PS4’s Fortnite Celebration Cup
Epic GamesThe Fortnite Celebration Cup takes place on February 15 and 16, exclusively on PS4.
The tournament kicks off on February 15 and is open to all PS4 players. They’ll be able to load up the game and go straight into the Fortnite Celebration Cup Solo competitions for a chance to win in-game cosmetics and a chunk of $1,000,000.
Players will be able to find the tournament in the “Compete” tab, so it won’t work if players are just playing the regular Solos playlist.
At the end of the first day, players will earn the following cosmetics, depending on where they ended up finishing. This means if you see a player rocking the Tango skin in the future, they are very good at Fortnite.
- Top 50% – “Take Cover” Spray
- Top 25% – “Wild Accent” Pickaxe
- Top 5% – “Tango” Outfit
On February 16, players will be able to jump into the same tournament, but instead of coming away with free items, they’ll instead be competing for sweet cash money.
Epic Games says over 4000 players will be able to win prizes, so it’s definitely only going to happen for the best of the best.
The tournament will run for three hours a day, so make sure you know your times ahead of the event.
Going by how things have been set up in the past, this would be our guess for each region, but make sure you double-check on your own. All times are local.
- NA East: 7 p.m. – 10 p.m.
- NA West: 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
- Europe: 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
- Brazil: 6 p.m. – 9 p.m.
- Oceania: 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.
- Asia: 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
- Middle East: 5 p.m. – 8 p.m.
What’s the Scoring System?
Epic GamesTest your skill in the Celebration Cup.
If you’re an avid competitor in the Fortnite scene, then this scoring system won’t be very surprising.
The numbers may have been changed up a bit, but, as always, placements and eliminations will be key to earning the most points.
- Victory Royale: 10 Points
- 2nd – 5th: 7 Points
- 6th – 15th: 5 Points
- 16th – 25th: 3 Points
- Each Elimination: 1 Point
How Is The Prize Pool Broken Down?
Epic GamesLots of money is up for grabs in the Fortnite Celebration Cup.
Depending on what part of the world you’re in, the prize money differs. Each region has its own prize pool, so you won’t have to worry about NA players, for example, hogging all of the money,
Some regions are stingier on how much money is given out, so make sure you pay close attention:
