When Chapter 2 Season 4 arrives for Fortnite next week, it won’t be for everyone. Mobile players will be left behind due to the ongoing lawsuits, but Epic Games is bringing everyone together one last time in a new tournament that is seemingly themed after the lawsuit with Apple.
The #FreeFortnite Cup will be taking place on August 23rd across all platforms that are able to run Fortnite. There will be a host of prizes up for grabs during the event, including the new Tart Tycoon Outfit, which may be a little more than obvious, but it is a nice skin. In addition to this, those who participate will have the chance to win a #FreeFortnite hat, PC’s, gaming consoles, and more.
All of your friends. Fabulous prizes. And one bad apple. We’re droppin the #FreeFortnite Cup on August 23.

Participants who earn 10 or more points will receive the Tart Tycoon skin, while top scoring players across regions (20,000 globally) will receive an IRL hat that says “Free Fortnite.” across the front of it with a llama in the style of an early Apple logo.
