Fortnite’s latest update, version 26.30, introduced a new look for the game’s main menu. However, players are far from pleased with the changes. The updated design features large rectangular blocks with rounded edges, resembling streaming platforms. Despite its sleek appearance, the Fortnite community has expressed their disapproval, comparing it to smart TV interfaces and fast food app menus.
The new user interface has been met with criticism, with players describing it as “unbelievably bad” and the worst user interface they have ever seen. Many feel that it resembles browsing Netflix for a movie or show rather than immersing themselves in the Fortnite experience. Some players have even created threads showcasing the new UI photoshopped onto a smart TV, using words like cursed, disaster, horrible, and vile to describe it.
In addition to the aesthetics, players are frustrated with the functionality of the new interface. They find it harder to navigate, with essential features such as the Battle Pass and Quests now more difficult to access. The interface has also been criticized for pushing players towards creative modes by prominently featuring the discovery tab.
The general consensus among players is that the previous Fortnite interface was superior in terms of both looks and functionality, leading them to question why it was changed in the first place. Many players have voiced their desire for Epic Games to revert to the previous interface, although they remain skeptical about the likelihood of this happening.
As of now, it appears that the new design is here to stay. While Epic Games has not officially confirmed this, it remains uncertain whether they will make adjustments based on player feedback or stand firm and wait for players to adapt to the changes.
Fortnite players are adamant that there is a distinction between an objectively bad user interface and simply needing time to adjust to a new one. They hope that Epic Games will take their feedback into consideration and make improvements accordingly.
