Fortnite\u2019s<\/em> latest season kicked off a big shakeup: developer Epic Games removed building<\/a>, perhaps the game\u2019s most iconic feature, from the core battle royale modes. It was a risky move that had the potential to lessen interest in the game. Instead, it appears to have had the opposite effect \u2014 especially for some big streamers. <\/p>\n
Not everyone was on board with what Epic now calls Zero Build mode<\/a> right away. \u201cInitially, I hated it and I was absolutely furious,\u201d Michael \u201cThe Fierce Diva\u201d Reynolds<\/a>, a Facebook Gaming streamer, told me in an interview. \u201cSince I play the game so much, the way people would assess my skill is due to how I build and edit and things of that nature. But my movement and all that stuff, I\u2019m not so good at it.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI thought I was initially going to hate it.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nReynolds wasn\u2019t the only one. \u201cI thought I was initially going to hate it,\u201d Twitch streamer Ali \u201cSypherPK\u201d Hassan<\/a> told me. \u201cI thought maybe I would make a couple of videos about it and then move back to the normal building mode.\u201d<\/p>\n
But both have since come around. \u201cOnce I got used to the way you would move around the map without the builds, I had a lot of respect and appreciation for it,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cI\u2019ve been having such a great time playing that game,\u201d Hassan said. It\u2019s not just those two; I\u2019ve seen a lot of streamers who hadn\u2019t been playing much Fortnite<\/em>, like DrLupo<\/a>, TimTheTatman<\/a>, Nickmercs<\/a>, and Tfue<\/a>, jumping into the game once again.<\/p>\n
Removing building also makes the game more approachable, Hassan argued. \u201cFortnite<\/em> was slowly becoming inaccessible for new players,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cAnybody who was interested in playing semi seriously was just getting destroyed by people with years of experience in building and editing.\u201d You just need to watch a bit of Fortnite\u2019s<\/em> official competitive matches to see how well<\/a> high-level players can build, and in my experience, getting instantly built around by experts can be deflating.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI really enjoy mixing it up.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nBoth Reynolds and Hassan have seen a lot of interest in Zero Build mode. Reynolds told me that at one point when he played Fortnite\u2019s<\/em> Arena mode, which did not<\/em> lose building, \u201cpeople were so excited to see no build and see streamers create content around that that I had taken a hit that day.\u201d Now that building is back in non-competitive battle royale<\/a>, Reynolds says he spends about three-quarters of a stream in the build mode and then switches to Zero Build. \u201cI really enjoy mixing it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hassan\u2019s team shared some stats demonstrating how the new mode led to more viewers, and he apparently saw a 30.3 percent increase in average viewers during the first week of this season as compared to the first week of Chapter 2 Season 8. (His team didn\u2019t share stats comparing the most recent season, Chapter 3 Season 1, because it brought a massive, island-changing overhaul<\/a> that meant numbers were more inflated than they typically would be.) Twitch also told me the first week of the new season had roughly 23 million hours watched \u2014 the highest Fortnite<\/em> watch time on Twitch in over a year.<\/p>\n
While Zero Build mode has been popular, it\u2019s unclear if Epic plans to keep it in the game after this season. I asked both streamers if they think Zero Build will stick around. \u201cI want to say I do because I think that I want it to,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cAs long as people continue to [enjoy it], I don\u2019t see why it wouldn\u2019t stay. And I hope it stays, personally.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI think if Fortnite is smart, they\u2019re going to be willing to experiment even more\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nHassan said that if Epic leaves the mode as-is and as a separate one that doesn\u2019t get updated, \u201cI think people will eventually get bored of it and want more. I don\u2019t think it can last more than a season in its current state.\u201d But he also talked to me about the intriguing potential for a hybrid of the build and no-build modes. \u201cI think if Fortnite<\/em> is smart, they\u2019re going to be willing to experiment even more and potentially have some sort of either limited thing or ability-based building where you just press one button and it builds a box or a bridge and you can still have those building mechanics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
I also asked both streamers about what makes Fortnite<\/em> stand out now that building isn\u2019t a requirement.<\/p>\n\u201cFortnite<\/em> has an amazing foundation compared to other traditional battle royale games on the market,\u201d Reynolds said in an email. He mentioned how it\u2019s easy to move around the map and pick up weapons as well, which has been enhanced by the addition of mechanics like sliding and sprinting<\/a>. \u201cI think Fortnite<\/em> is showing the industry that it doesn\u2019t need building to be as exciting as it once was.\u201d And on our call, he talked about Fortnite<\/em>\u2019s impressive cadence of weekly updates, which sometimes add new mechanics and locations<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Hassan argued that building was key to the initial success of Fortnite<\/em>, \u201cbut what people need to realize is that Fortnite<\/em> has come a long way since.\u201d He brought up the many collaborations with franchises like Marvel<\/a> and DC<\/a> and the addition of the Creative mode<\/a> that lets people make their own experiences. He also mentioned the regular updates: \u201cA normal Fortnite<\/em> update on any given Tuesday could be potentially comparable to an entire new season [for] another battle royale.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an email after the interview, Hassan indicated that viewership was staying up. \u201cMy chat is really enjoying Zero Build and our viewership is besting even our recent spikes,\u201d he said. \u201cFortnite<\/em> with Zero Build might not be at its previous peak, but it sure feels like we\u2019re getting there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
