Fortniteplayers rejoice - you no longer need to return to the lobby after every single match, or accidentally press the ‘report player’ button when trying to play again. After days of the button being missing, you can finally press ‘Ready Up’ again immediately after a game finishes.
It’s felt like a long time since the button disappeared - on November 16, the officialFortniteStatus account on Twitterannounced: “Please note: We’ve temporarily disabled Split Screen functionality and the ‘Ready Up’ and ‘Keep Playing Together’ buttons due to an issue. We’re investigating a fix for this now and will provide an update when these features have been re-enabled.”
While the split screen issue was resolved on Tuesday (November 21), it wasn’t until last night (November 22) that the ‘Ready Up’ and ‘Keep Playing Together’ buttonsfinally returned. No further explanation was provided as to what issue was keeping them from being re-enabled, but whatever the reason, longerFortnitesessions should now feel much less disjointed; and you’ll no longer have to worry about your squadmates forgetting to set themselves as ready in the lobby every game, either.
