Oh, okay, so I should just download Fortnite? And it'll change at some point today to "Fortnite Battle Royal".
Thank you! I might be able to try it out for a little later.

Nevermind, seems the size changed with the new client.
Fortnite is over 13GB on PSN. I assume there'll be a sizeable update at some point too though.
Edit: ^ Or the update is already there. My download is 13.433GB on PSN.
Says 5pm on Xbox Store

Good morning. What do I have to download in order to play the BR mode on PS4?
The free Fortnite game client that is on the store already.

3 player squads will work, right, or do I need to fill the last slot with a random?

I'd like to know this too. As i have two friends that i play with.
I don't trust the forth player, especially as friendly fire is going to be a thing.

Only 2 or 4 players will work.
''New Duos and Squad match types have been added, alongside Solos.
Play in groups of 2 or up to 4 and fight to eliminate all the other teams''
''Use the Fill option to automatically fill your team with other players''
I read "up to 4" as meaning that you can play with 3 in a squad, also with fill mentioned as an option. You'll just be playing against 4 player squads.

Yeah, I was reading up to 4 as meaning 3 or 4, but the auto fill thing was throwing me off.

Hmmmm.
I thought the ''up to 4'' just adresses the squad mode.
Well, we'll see how it works tonight.

I played PUBG for a good amount of time with a controller, it wasn't too bad. A lot of these kind of games is in the head and not in the twitch controls. You'll make a good amount of kills by just not being an idiot and picking off those who are.

There is only one Fortnite Client on PSN. It contains both modes. Download it.

That's the one you want. The file size is around 14GB in total when it's installed and updated.
It's a launcher for both the PvE and PvP.
Just search for Fortnite on PSN. It's the free option.
Updated OP.

This is going to be absolutely massive. Such a savvy move by Epic to release this when they are.
I think there are oceanic servers
Interesting...can anyone confirm Oceanic servers?
Huh? This isn't connected to PUBG in any way?
From memory there is, yes.

the game isn't out yet.
Squads should be available with the update.

Absolutely fine. I've had a bit of stuttering/getting teleported a few feet in front of me a handful of times, but that's all network based.
I can't tell if it's ruining at a locked 30fps, but it's definitely around there, and I've not experienced any noticeable slowdown at all.
It's in, just not activated until they see how the numbers settle. I think they don't want to split the queues instantly and let things settle basically. I suspect it won't take long for it to appear.
Most people I've seen teaming are 2 man groups, so duos imo should be a priority but squads allows for you to queue as a 2 man and either go with randoms or just as a 2.

Thats whats squads is for 2 to 4 players. Duos is in but i think they have it turned off. Squads data will probably determine if they see a need to turn it on.

Can't wait, hope it's live and running when I get back from work ~6:30pm BST.

We need a new Fortnite (Battle Royale) Discord. Is anyone willing to do one?
Retro Edge

No not the official one, a GAF Fortnite Discord.
And yes technically we have one but it's completely abandoned and everyone in it asks for a new one.

That is just the official fortnite discord.
