Epic Games has taken a significant step in enhancing social interaction within Fortnite by introducing a redesigned text chat system. This feature, which will be available on all Fortnite islands starting December 10, 2024, allows players to communicate with their friends, teammates, and even other players in-game.

How Does Fortnite Text Chat Work?
Fortnite offers three primary channels for text communication:
- Party Channel: This channel is exclusive to your party members. You can chat with them regardless of the island you’re on.
- Game Channel: This channel allows you to communicate with other players on the same island instance. Creators can choose whether to enable this feature and who can participate (all players or just teammates).
- Direct Messages (DMs): You can send private messages to friends on your Fortnite or platform friends list.

Enhanced Safety and Filtering
To ensure a positive and safe gaming environment, Epic Games has implemented several measures:
- Personal Information Filter: This filter automatically removes sensitive information like email addresses and credit card numbers from text chats.
- Mature Language Filter: This filter is designed to identify and filter out toxic and offensive language.
- Text Reporting: Players can now report toxic behavior in text chat, allowing Epic Games to take appropriate action against offenders.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians can utilize the Parental Controls on the Epic Account Portal to manage their child’s text chat permissions. This feature allows parents to tailor their child’s gaming experience to their specific needs and preferences.
With the introduction of text chat, Fortnite aims to foster a more connected and interactive community. By providing players with a variety of communication options, Epic Games is empowering players to connect with each other in new and exciting ways.
