With over 350 million registered players, Fortnite is still growing almost three years after it first launched, but as true with all popular online games, toxic behaviours like bullying and trolling is a major issue to combat. Thankfully, like other major games and communities, Fortnite also allows you to block people to filter the noise.
If you have ever faced issues with players and want to block them or have mistakenly blocked a friend and are unable to undo it, here’s how you can unblock or block someone on Fortnite easily.
If you feel a player’s behaviour goes against Epic Games’ code of conduct, and a block will not suffice, you can report them via the in-game tool, as explained at the end of the article.
