A group of Fortnite players is currently using social platforms to express their discontent with the recently leaked UI adjustments in the game. The anticipated interface overhaul seems to focus on a new iteration of the Fortnite lobby.

The immensely popular battle royale game has frequently faced fan dissatisfaction regarding its user interface. A recent wave of criticism surfaced following the UI modifications introduced in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 5. Many players found the late 2023 revision to be chaotic and perplexing, urging Epic to reconsider their design choices.

Controversial Fortnite Lobby Changes Leak Online

While the developer is evidently revising a segment of the game's interface, satisfying every player is an unattainable goal. The most recent example of this is a lobby redesign disclosed by credible Fortnite leaker Hypex, which divided the community from the moment it surfaced on Twitter in early May. Although the image is significantly cropped, it reveals that friend status updates have been relocated from the side to the center of the screen. This adjustment does enhance the accessibility of certain vital information but results in a significantly more cluttered appearance.

Some players feel that the compromise is not worthwhile, expressing this sentiment in response to Hypex's Fortnite leak. A Twitter user commented, 'Lucky I don't have friends, this looks awful.' Not all reactions to the recently leaked image shared this viewpoint, as several individuals suggested that the redesign enhances functionality. One user, @XentraBlob on Twitter, welcomed the ability to alter their status from the lobby without navigating to the Social tab. Another fan stated that the leaked lobby has a superior aesthetic compared to the current one, which they criticized as 'bland.'

However, even favorable responses to the leak were coupled with criticism of Epic, with many expressing ambivalence due to the company's failure to address the unpopular Fortnite Locker UI modifications. Despite pledging to do so in December, the Locker UI remains unaltered six months later. 'This isn't the UI update we requested,' remarked a Twitter user, with numerous others echoing similar sentiments in reaction to the lobby leak.

The current progress of Epic's endeavors to revamp the Locker interface is uncertain. It is also unclear when the newly leaked Fortnite lobby might be released to players.
