Currently private matchmaking is not available for Fortnite Battle Royale, though it is possible to pair or squad up with friends. As the tweet is just a teaser, we can’t be sure what private matches will involve but it is probable that a new smaller version of the map will be made to accommodate for less players.
Until February 2, Fortnite is running a special event called Sniper Shootout which sees all gun drops being replaced by only sniper rifles and revolvers.
Fortnite Battle Royale is free to download for PC from Epic Games’ own client.
