To compete in the Fortnite Celebration Cup, you’ll have to be playing on PlayStation 4 and make sure your Fortnite account is at level 15. You’ll also have to enable two-factor authentication on your Epic account.  

You can check out the exact timing of when the cup starts when you hit the ‘Compete’ tab in-game.  

This tournament follows the recent Australian Open Summer Smash Cup, which took place on 1-2nd February.  

Epic has been suspiciously quiet on their plans for the Fortnite World Cup, which made its debut last year on 26-28 July in New York.  

Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf took top prize at the event, ascending to worldwide fame where he’s now even appearing in Super Bowl adverts.  

Fortnite Celebration Cup kicks off on Saturday 15th February on PlayStation 4.
