Young Fortnite players may soon face a time limit if their parents or guardians decide to impose one. This is due to Epic Games introducing two new parental controls: time limit and time report. These features enable parents and guardians to set daily restrictions on the amount of time their children can spend playing Fortnite. Moreover, Epic Games now allows you to specify particular time slots during which kids can engage in battles on the island. For example, you might want your child to only play as Mr. Incredible between 3-5 PM on weekdays. This is now feasible.
Epic Games has also implemented an in-game notification that alerts players when they have 30 minutes left of their allotted time. Additionally, players can request more time, though it is up to the parent or guardian to grant it. It's worth noting that kids will likely always ask for more time. For those attempting to bypass these limits by playing on different devices, Epic Games has ensured that the parental controls will apply across all platforms.
The time report control provides weekly summaries of the hours spent playing Fortnite, along with any extra time granted. These new options complement existing parental controls, such as managing voice chat and in-game purchases. Looking ahead, Fortnite is set to introduce three new high-profile skins. The first is reportedly Shaquille O'Neal, who hinted at his in-game model during a recent DJ set. This month could also see the addition of two horror icons: Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Billy the Puppet from Saw. In other news, Lego Fortnite received a significant update with the Lost Isles last month.
