To create a private game in Fortnite, it is necessary to have special permissions that Epic Games offers to certain people, mostly influencers, that is, players with certain fame on the Internet, able to move several dozen people to join in the same game. In addition to influencers, this option is also active for professional players.
Obtain permits by organizing a tournament
If our profile does not fit the above, we still have a remote possibility. To do this we must organize a serious tournament and send our proposal to the email address tournamentrequests@epicgames.com.
Keep in mind that Epic Games will not grant these permissions easily, so make sure your proposal includes everything, such as competitive players, support from influential people or entities, publicity, good prizes, and more. Even so, Epic Games may reject our proposal, so do not think about doing the tournament just to get the permissions. In addition, permits can be revoked within days or hours after the tournament.
How to play a private game
Playing in private games can be done by anyone; we only need to have two-factor authentication (2FA) and a game key. Such keys are usually made public by streamers to play with their subscribers, so we only have to look for a Fortnite Livestream where they are playing private matches to find one of these keys.
With the key, from the Fortnite home platform, we must tap on en Change.
Press Change to switch the mode
On the next screen, tap on Custom Options.
Press Custom Options to enter the password for the private game
Now, we must enter the password of the game and tap Accept.
Type in the password and press Accept
Finally, we must tap Play! and wait for the host to do it too so that we can all start. Probably, the wait will be quite long, as the creator of the game will want to wait for a good number of players to be connected. However, the wait will be worth it, as it is not always possible to enjoy a private Fortnite game.
