On Sept. 29, 2021, Epic Games announced a new cup exclusive to PS4 and PS5 players where they will have chances to win a share of two $113,400 prize pools! Aptly titled the (new) PlayStation Cup, this tournament is a Solo tournament that takes place once in October and once in November. Check out the information below to see everything you need to know!
Event Schedule & Basic Info
Each tournament is being hosted in two rounds, once on Oct. 2, 2021, and again on Nov. 11, 2021. At the moment, there is no information about when the event runs on these dates other than that Fortnite will host all regions at the same time. However, usually special tournaments like this run from 5pm CST to 8pm CST. This is a Solos tournament, so be sure to practice alone and bring your best game!

Placement & Scoring
Since this tournament is hosted in two rounds, the placement, and scoring work differently than normal.
- Round 1: This round works the same as most tournaments in which the players with the most points accumulated across all viable matches they play are given the rewards. Viable matches are the first 10 matches played by each player. Only the top 100 players in this round advance to Round 2.
- Round 2: This round takes place across six matches instead of 10. The point system largely remains the same, with the only difference being that eliminations in this round are worth two points instead of one.
