The Fortnite PlayStation Cup is back for July with an exciting twist!

Starting July 7, PS4 and PS5 players can play in 3 weekly Qualifier Cups, before the PlayStation Cup Finals on July 24. Cosmetics will be up for grabs during Qualifiers, and there’s a whopping $230,800 prize pool for Finals.

It’s all Solos, so get practicing. The first two Qualifiers will have unique rulesets, but Qualifier 3 and Finals will be standard competitive settings:

Qualifier 1: Architect mode (edit enemy builds) - Top 33 qualify to Finals

Qualifier 2: Starting Loadout mode (spawn with weapons) - Top 33 qualify to Finals

Qualifier 3: Standard Competitive mode - Top 34 qualify to Finals

Each Qualifier will be a three-hour session in which players can complete a maximum of ten matches. Points are awarded for both placement and eliminations as follows:

Scoring System

Victory Royale: 30 points
2nd: 25 points
3rd: 22 points
4th: 20 points
5th: 19 points
6th: 17 points
7th: 16 points
8th: 15 points
9th: 14 points
10th: 13 points
11th - 15th: 11 points

Each Elimination: 1 point

The Finals will be a set lobby with six matches. Scoring is pretty much the same except eliminations are worth 2 points apiece.
