It should surprise no one that Fortnite Champion Series is back for 2023, and its newly revealed roadmap sets the course for what competitive Fortnite will look like for the entire calendar year. The Champion Series will run from February to at least August, with the global championship coming late in the year.
The total prize package for the series is $10 million, and it will kick off on Thursday, February 2. It will follow a duos format, with four major events determining placement in the final championship. Perhaps the biggest news here is that the global championship will be decided in-person, following in the footsteps of last year’s event. It will be held in Copenhagen in “late 2023,” with no firm date yet set.
The format of the tournament will follow the usual Fortnite competitive structure, with players earning a spot in the majors by qualifying for the “Elite Division,” the highest level of divisional competition in the game. A number of slots are allocated to each geographic area of the globe, from the EU to Brazil.
