Key Takeaways

  • Fortnite no longer has a level cap, allowing players to level up endlessly.
  • Some players enjoy showcasing their XP levels as a bragging right.
  • Epic Games has not acknowledged the change, suggesting further tweaks to the leveling system may be in store.



Players have discovered that the level cap has been removed in Fortnite. Although there are plenty of reasons to continue playing Fortnite and various new game modes and changes constantly being made, some players enjoy the achievement of leveling up, which can offer Battle Pass rewards, but also just to showcase the amount of time and effort spent playing.

Leveling in Fortnite has remained a cyclical task for the entirety of the game’s release until recently. Each season, players would be able to continue leveling up to a certain point, and then it would no longer impact gameplay or rewards in any functional manner. In many of the newer Fortnite seasons, rewards in the game’s Battle Pass have stopped at level 200, but players would still be able to accumulate XP and hit a cap of 1,001. Some players would challenge themselves to hit the maximum level during some seasons, but an update could make that progress vanish. It seems like this will no longer be the case going forward.

Fortnite source ShiinaBR has shared information noticed by ItsADAMO_ and Many0354 showing that the level cap in Fortnite has been removed. So far, it seems that gamers will now be able to level up endlessly, with the player ManyshkaCSE at the top of the game’s leaderboard, currently shown at level 1,014. Previously, the level cap in Fortnite was set at 1,001, however, there have been changes made to the way Fortnite awards XP to players. And as time passes, players may be able to push even further beyond what they thought the limit was.

Fortnite Removes Level Cap


So far, Epic Games and the Fortnite team have not acknowledged the change in any capacity, so it’s unclear why this restriction was lifted. It’s possible that the team could have plans to make further tweaks to the leveling system present in Fortnite and that this is a preliminary step. However, it’s also just as possible within the process of recent Fortnite XP adjustments and buffs that the change was made because the level cap was deemed trivial, and it makes it more fun to show just how much XP gamers have accumulated over time.

Being able to show off one’s account level in Fortnite may simply end up becoming a new social element of the game in the same way that using skins from classic older Fortnite seasons is now seen as a flex. For many, the point may simply be longevity, and several gamers have pointed out in response to this change that they do not necessarily care about whether new rewards for higher levels in Fortnite are added. What matters to many dedicated fans is being able to have the bragging rights that come with a higher level.
