Ranked has arrived in Fortnite. After seven years without such a mode, Ranked is finally available where we can play Battle Royale and Zero Build modes and earn different ranks. In this article, we will share all the details about Ranked in Fortnite:

When Ranked comes to Fortnite and how to play

Fortnite’s Ranked Mode has been available since May 17, 2023. They were introduced to the game with patch 24.40, which was applied on that day.

To play Ranked Matches in Fortnite, select the playlist from the Discover tab. Only the following group sizes are available:

  • Battle Royale: En Solo, Duos o Squads. No Trios.
  • Zero Build: Duos. No Solo, Trios or Squads.

The names of the playlists are Ranked Battle Royale and Ranked Zero Build.

Note that we can only play ranked matches if we have completed the first Fortnite Quest, which is to outlast 500 other players by staying alive in matches.

What are the ranks in Fortnite Ranked Matches?

In Fortnite Ranked Mode, we have the following ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Elite, Champion, and Unreal. There are eight ranks in total.

  • The first qualifier season will begin with Fortnite patch 24.40 on May 17, 2023.
  • The initial rank of this Season Zero depends on our previous performance in Battle Royale and Zero Build, as well as the result of our first qualifier.
  • If we manage to reach Unreal, we will keep this rank for the rest of the season and it will be impossible to drop from it. Next to the rank, we are given a number that indicates our exact position among all the players in the world.
  • We move up or down in the rankings depending on factors such as our position in each game or eliminations. In addition, eliminations are worth more as the game progresses and also affect the rank of the eliminated players.
