Fortnite Adds Limited-Time Fall Guys Mode Crown Jam, a Mix of Basketball, Football and Obstacle Courses

There’s a fresh mode to try in Fortnite this week, thanks to another crossover with Epic Games’ beloved Fall Guys beans.

Crown Jam will go live this Friday, January 23 and feature three-versus-three arcade action that blends elements of basketball and football with the usual Fall Guys obstacle-based chaos. There’s even a touch of Rocket League in there too, as you zoom around an arena as a trio (albeit on foot), while attempting to score.

IGN has bean able to reveal the first gameplay footage of the mode today — catch a look at all the dodging, dashing and dashing action below as players attempt to yeet balls through hoops, and work up Hype along the way to unlock special abilities.

Participation in the mode will unlock Fortnite rewards such as a Jam Track and a pair of Back Blings. Over in Fall Guys, meanwhile, the Slam Dunk Costume will be available for free via the in-game shop in celebration.

It’s been a little while since Epic Games added an all-new limited-time mode to Fortnite, which already juggles various permanent variants of its signature battle royale experience. Crown Jam will be playable until February 9, so you have just under a month to get yeeting.

Last night, Fortnite teased a beet-iful new collaboration with acclaimed comedy series The Office — more details of which are expected later this week.
