Fortnite 29.20 Patch Notes – April 9, 2024

Rocket Racing

• Rocket Racing concludes Season Zero with the launch of Neon Rush, introducing neon metropolitan raceways and user-created tracks.
• Neon Rush features five new Epic tracks, each offering unique challenges.
  • Jackrabbit: Novice difficulty
  • Tri-City: Novice difficulty
  • Conduit: Expert difficulty
  • Delirium: Expert difficulty
  • Slap Happy: Advanced difficulty
• Creator-made tracks are now available, categorized by type and popularity.
• A new ranked period starts with Neon Rush, resetting ranks for all players.

RANKED RACING, MATCHMAKING, AND LEADERBOARDS

• Ranked Progression Balancing: Alongside the rank reset, we are making adjustments to progress gains in ranked play. Our intention is to reduce some of the grind players felt climbing the ranks in the last Ranked period. Good luck to everyone playing ranked races, and let us know what you think about the progression changes!

• Ranked Racing Matchmaking: With the start of Neon Rush, we’ve made some adjustments to how matchmaking works in ranked play, with the goal of improving queue times for players at all ranks.

• Speed Run Leaderboards: With Neon Rush, the Speed Run leaderboards have been reset. Good luck keeping your name at the top, everyone!
