"Fortnite will continue to update every week, however for major, official Fortnite competitions we may adjust for competitive needs," the post concludes. The announcement is the result of feedback gathered from pros over the last six months of competitive play. In the past, the Fortnite community has lambasted game-breaking weapons like the overpowered Compact SMG and Infinity Blade, forcing the developer to either nerf or remove them altogether.

Now it seems Epic is finally conceding that its frequent update schedule is having a negative impact on the competitive Fortnite scene. It's promising to "continue to take into account" the need for stability around tournaments throughout the course of this year.
