The latest Fortnite update was released on Tuesday and brought several big changes. Epic Games released another Festival season, bringing the Gorillaz to the game. Besides this collaboration, the game developer also released a Front Man skin from Squid Game, as well as One Punch Man cosmetics. Unfortunately, the update also removed two game modes.
Epic has been making significant changes to Fortnite’s modes over the past few months, adding new modes and vaulting ones that haven’t been popular. Due to this, it’s no surprise that the company removed two more modes, although the exact reason hasn’t been specified.
The latest Fortnite update removed Expert OG modes
With the arrival of update v37.10, two playlists have been removed from Fortnite OG. The developer has decided to vault both Expert Solos and Duos for the time being. These modes were added in late July, but it doesn’t seem they’ve gained much traction in the community.
The removal of these specific playlists provides a way for Epic Games to simplify the matchmaking queues. This will improve overall matchmaking health and reduce matchmaking times, which is always a positive thing. Unfortunately, players who looked for a challenge in modes with no bots will have to play a different mode.
It’s important to note that the removal is only “for the time being.” The official message from Epic Games, posted on X, says that these playlists “may come back at a later date,” so there’s still a chance to see them return to Fortnite OG in the future.
For now, however, it seems that the majority of players prefer the classic Fortnite OG mode with building and bots. Even its Zero Build variant hasn’t been quite popular, although it’s unlikely that Epic will remove it anytime soon.
