Ever wondered how Fortnite decides who you’re up against in a battle royale? Let’s dive into how matchmaking works in this wildly popular game.

When you jump into a game of Fortnite, have you ever thought about how the game picks your opponents? Let’s break down the magic behind the matchmaking process.

Short Answer to the Big Question

Fortnite uses a system called skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). This system tries to match you with players who have a similar skill level.

The idea is to make games fair and fun for everyone. If you’re new to the game, you won’t find yourself up against Fortnite pros. And if you’ve been playing for a while, the game should feel more challenging.
