If you were an avid Trios player in Fortnite, you might remember when Epic removed Trios from the game in May 2023. However, thanks to player feedback, Trios was quickly added back to Fortnite before May 2023 was over. In this article we'll go over why Trios was removed from Fortnite, as well as outline which Trios modes you can play in Fortnite as of May 2024.

Why Fortnite Removed Trios Mode

Epic removed Trios mode from Fortnite in its May 2023 update, which added ranked play to the game. This was to improve queue times and matchmaking quality across the entire game, not just ranked, according to Epic. However, Trios was added back as a non-ranked mode at the end of May 2023.

    However, non-ranked Battle Royale and Zero Build Trios modes were enabled at the end of May 2023 due to player feedback and complaints. In June 2023, Epic released a statement explaining that Trios was removed in the Season Zero update to help with queue times and matchmaking quality across the game, despite the fact that the playlist was removed with the ranked play update.
