The next Fortnite season will bring numerous changes to the game, from a new Battle Pass to new items. On top of that, Epic Games just announced that players will be able to make more money starting on Friday. Considering how popular the game is, many players have made millions thanks to it. If you’re interested in that as well, you’ll love the latest Fortnite news!

With Season 4 coming out on Thursday night, we are less than 48 hours away from it. In this article, we will take a look at Epic’s latest announcement, which will drastically benefit players.

Fortnite just announced an increased prize pool in Season 4

Making money with Fortnite is a dream come true for many gamers. After all, playing your favorite game instead of going to work sounds like a much better idea. Unfortunately, the competition is tough, as the market has become saturated. However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t give it a try, as Epic just gave you another reason to try out a Fortnite career.

On Wednesday morning, the Fortnite developer announced a prize increase for Battle Royale Duos Cash Cups. This change will kick in with the release of Chapter 5 Season 4 and will affect players from North America and Europe. At the moment, other regions will not be affected by this change, but that may change in the future.

At the moment, we don’t know the exact increase in the cash prize. However, there is no doubt that this is fantastic news for all Fortnite players, especially those who play competitive modes. We’re hoping that this change will become permanent and that it will affect other regions as well. Considering that NA and EU are the biggest regions in the game, doing this experiment in them makes a lot of sense.
