Islands with paid random items became unavailable in some regions after PEGI and IARC updated their rating criteria. A fix to immediately re-enable these islands is rolling out now, and they should be playable again within the hour. We’re updating Fortnite to support this paid random items change and working with PEGI and IARC on timing to roll out their new criteria. In the meantime, they will temporarily update these islands to a 12 rating over the next few days.

🗓️ We've rescheduled today's Solo Reload Victory Cup to Monday, October 12, so competitors have more time to reach Platinum Rank. Results from today’s OCE and ASIA sessions will still count, and both regions will receive an additional session on Monday.

We’ve vaulted the God Mode Llama a couple of days ahead of schedule after discovering an issue allowing unlimited uses. That wraps up its run this season. Thanks for all the Llama-fueled fun! 🦙

✅ We've deployed a fix for this issue. NPC Spawner Devices should now spawn NPCs as expected in new server sessions. If you're still experiencing the issue, please start a new session for the fix to take effect.
🛠️ We're investigating reports that NPC Spawner Devices may not be spawning NPCs as expected on some published islands. We'll let you know when we have more information or a fix.
