Epic Games launched the Fortnite Fantastic Four Cup to celebrate the new Fantastic Four movie, which stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards. The tournament was a limited-time event and gave players a chance to earn exclusive rewards before they became available in the Item Shop. Here is everything you need to know about this Fortnite event!

What is the Fantastic Four Cup in Fortnite?

The Fantastic Four Cup was a global, one-day tournament that took place on July 23, 2025. It was designed to promote the new Fantastic Four movie. The event gave players the chance to unlock the Fantastic Four Bundle early. The bundle included character outfits for Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm, Susan Storm, and Reed Richards, along with themed accessories like emotes, gliders, pickaxes, and backblings.

This cup was not only for top-tier players. Epic Games also allowed casual players to earn cosmetic rewards by staying alive in matches for a set amount of time.

How does the tournament format work?

The event followed a clear and simple format. Each region had a three-hour window, and players could compete in up to 10 matches during that time. Matches were played in squads using Fortnite’s standard Battle Royale mode.

Points were awarded for eliminations and placements:

• Victory Royale: 62 points
• Second place: 52 points
• Third place: 45 points
• Top 20 placements received points on a sliding scale
• Each elimination: 1 point

Epic Games used a tiebreaker system in case of equal points. The system prioritized total score first, then total Victory Royales, average eliminations, average placement, and time survived.

Cross-platform play was allowed. Players could join using PC, console, or mobile. All platforms had the same rules, and no one had a scoring advantage based on their device. You can also check the official ruleset.
