Fortnite Playground Mode is Back, But Not as You Know It

Fortnite Playground Mode, one of the most popular additions to the battle royale game in recent months, has finally returned after a short hiatus. However, Epic has done more than iron out a few kinks. This is a whole new, far more fun Limited Time Mode to lose all track of time with.

As revealed in the Fortnite 5.10 patch notes released this week, Playground Mode has undergone a few big changes to keep the masses entertained after being previously pulled from the game soon after its June release.

First up, team switching is now available at any time for all four players in a server. Elsewhere, the changes range from an increased rocket cap (60) and a quicker respawn time (10 seconds down to 3 seconds). F.U.N, baby. The best bit of all? Fortnite Playground Mode is live right now for a limited-time only. What are you waiting for?

The full patch notes are as follows:

Players can now switch teams in-game. Join the same team to work together creatively, join separate teams to practice fighting each other!
