Fortnite Takes Action Against Age Restrictions with Exciting Update

Fortnite will disable its age restrictions on cosmetics starting with the v28.00 update on December 3, 2023, following backlash from fans. The move comes as the developers work on a long-term solution for cosmetic gating. While most cosmetics will no longer be restricted, a small number of existing cosmetics, including less than ten Outfits, will remain playable only on T-rated islands due to their violent or fear-inducing elements. The announcement has been well-received by the Fortnite community, which had criticized the age restrictions. Epic Games will continue to explore the possibility of future cosmetic restrictions.
