June 2023 Fortnite PlayStation Cup: Format, eligibility, and schedule
First and foremost, you must reach the Bronze division in each Ranked Mode to be eligible for the PlayStation Cup Battle Royale and Zero Build competitions. Each game mode carries a separate rank so you will need Bronze in both. Otherwise, you will not have access to the tournaments on your PlayStation.
These solo Battle Royale and Zero Build competitions offer everything fans of both game modes could want. Each game mode features two separate Qualifiers. The top 50 Battle Royale and Zero Build Qualifiers teams will advance to the PlayStation Cup Fortnite Finals.
The scoring system remains similar to previous Fortnite tournaments with a slight change. Beginning this month, players can earn points by opening a vault and capturing a rifting-in POI. These are additional methods on top of the traditional elimination and placement points.
