Fortnite’s Playground Mode Returns
After a disaster of a launch, Fortnite’s Playground Mode has made it’s return after it’s initial debut in patch v4.5, which only lasted a couple of hours before Epic Games pulled the plug.
According to a Reddit post from JShredz, who is a member of Epic’s Live Operations team, issues arose from the sheer volume of people who wanted to get into the Playground.
“When you make matches for every 1-4 people, it requires between 25x and 100x as many matches as normal per 100 people depending on their party size,” JShredz wrote in the post.
“There is a very good chance based on the data I saw that matchmaker was creating online game lobbies faster than any game in history has ever done. We’ve got world-class engineers, but even we are sometimes blown away by how popular this game is.”
JShredz went on to explain that there is no issue at all with server availability and that the problem was based on how fast the system was able to create the matches themselves, assuring gamers that the issues has been fixed.
EA and Respawn Entertainment is shutting down their Apex Legends mobile game with the company announced that they will be sunsetting the title this May with EA adding that they have also stopped development on a mobile Battlefield title.
According to Respawn Entertainment, the decision to sunset Apex Legends was not an easy one to make but the company said that “factors” beyond its control have prevented it from “maintaining the high-quality experience and content” players deserve and expect.
Despite the game having a rather strong start, Respawn said that the content pipeline for the game began to “fall short of that bar for quality, quantity, and cadence.”
EA announced that they made the decision to halt the Battlefield mobile title as they wish to create “deeply connected Battlefield ecosystem” which made them arrive at the decision to “pivot from the current direction”
“We remain highly committed to unlocking Battlefield’s enormous potential,” the company said in the statement. “We’re hard at work at evolving Battlefield 2042 and are in pre-production on our future Battlefield experiences at our studios across the globe.”
