Epic Games announced that you will not be able to use instrument controllers in the Fortnite Festival game mode at launch, and here we explain why there is no current support.

Fortnite has collaborated with many huge artists, like rap phenoms Travis Scott and Eminem. Epic Games has also been working on a brand-new music event called Fortnite Festival, which brings another live in-game show and its own rock band-style music mode.

Players were thrilled with Epic Games’ announcement of the fun new mode, with there still being a large number of players who loved classic music games like Guitar Hero, which allowed players to use instrument controllers like specialized instrument controllers.

Fans initially hoped that Epic Games would also have integrated instrument controllers into Fortnite, but the developers recently released an official blog post that let players know that they will not be able to use them in the current state of the game.

Fortnite Festival currently does not support instrument controllers

Epic Games explained in the blog titled “Take your stage in Fortnite Festival!” all the new exciting content that will arrive with the event and new mode. However, they also revealed that it will not support instrument controllers at launch.

The developers responded to the popular question by fans: “Does Fortnite Festival support instrument controllers?”

“Not at launch,” Epic Games replied, “but it’s a priority for the team and currently under development. Will have more to share in 2024.”

Fans were disappointed with this announcement, but there is still a bunch of exciting content in Fortnite to get stuck into: Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, a new map, Rocket Racing, LEGO Fortnite, and more.
