Another legend has said he is done with competitive Fortnite.
Competitive Fortnite legend Martin "MrSavage" Foss Andersen has quit the game. This announcement arrived unexpectedly on Saturday, March 15 amid several roster changes. Having played at the highest level for seven years, MrSavage has accomplished almost every accolade possible in Fortnite.
However, he has stated his intentions to play Fortnite more casually and shift his content focus to more variety.
Did MrSavage quit Fortnite?
Yes, MrSavage announced that he quit Fortnite on March 15, 2025. This revelation was unexpected, as he had just finished eighth place in the Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) Chapter 6 Season 1. Unfortunately, he felt burnt out with the grind of competitive Fortnite and wanted to experiment with different content.
Savage expanded on his reasoning, saying he fell out of love with the game and the effort required to remain atop the pecking order. His intentions moving forward are to continue streaming and creating content but with fun as the focus.

Despite quitting Fortnite, MrSavage qualified for 22 FNCS Grand Finals, won two DreamHack LAN tournaments, and reached the 2022 FNCS Invitational and 2023 Global Championship Grand Finals. Although he never won an FNCS, he came close numerous times and earned over $500K.
