Fortnite OG: Bot Invasion Amidst Surging Player Numbers

Fortnite OG matches reportedly feature up to 90% bots in low skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) lobbies, according to data miners like osirion_gg. This adjustment aims to balance the influx of skilled players returning to the game, ensuring less skilled players still enjoy their experience. In contrast, high SBMM lobbies have only 10 bots. The use of bots and SBMM has sparked debate, with some arguing it diminishes game enjoyment, while others, like Activision, claim it boosts player retention. Epic Games has yet to comment on these claims.
