Prepare to prove yourself in one of the final events of Fortnite Season 5.
Switch Cup 2 took place as recently as February, but another Nintendo Switch exclusive tournament is coming next week. Unfortunately, that means if you play on PlayStation, Xbox, PC or Mobile, you will not be able to participate.
The Fortnite Switch Cup 3 arrives on March 9, and top performers have the opportunity to earn early access to the upcoming Cyprus Nell Outfit and Quantic Pulsar Back Bling. As an added bonus, anyone who collects 8 points or more will receive the Impasto Wrap.
It's time for a Switch up!
