Playgrounds and Replay mode disabled in Fortnite ahead of Marshmello concert

Calum Patterson

Update, February 2, 3:10PM EST – With the Marshmello concert now complete, Playgrounds and Replay mode have now been re-enabled.


If you’re wondering why you can no longer jump into Playgrounds or use Replay mode in Fortnite, don’t panic, you’re not the only one.

Epic Games disabled both modes temporarily, presumably for for the Marshmello concert even which is to took place in-game at 2pm EST on Saturday, February 2.

Replay mode was already disabled earlier in the same week, after players discovered it was possible to hear the music from the concert while watching replays.

This time around though, Epic did not say that there are any issues with the modes, so presumably this was just a precautionary move.

Along with the Marshmello event, a special LTM (Limited Time Mode) was also mde available, aptly named ‘Party in Pleasant Park’.

The mode will had respawn enabled, meaning that you don’t have to be worried about missing the show because an opponent tries to spoil the fun.

The stage for the concert is now ready.

Thankfully, any matches you play during the downtime will still be saved, and will be watchable once the replay mode is enabled again.

If you missed any of the Marshmello concert, you can watch it in full here.
