Why Is There No Ready Up Button in Fortnite?
Last updated
Ever wondered why you can’t find a ‘Ready Up’ button in Fortnite? Let’s dive into this gaming mystery!
Why does Fortnite seem to be missing that all-important ‘Ready Up’ button we see in so many online games?
Short Answer: Game Design Choice
Fortnite developers, Epic Games, made a deliberate game design choice not to include a typical ‘Ready Up’ button. Instead, they have opted for a system that automatically readies players up after a match, which keeps the action flowing and reduces downtime between games.
This approach helps maintain the game’s fast pace and ensures that players are quickly back into the fun. For those wanting more control, you can choose to return to the lobby where you have the option to manually enter your next game.
