A new Fortnite mode has been rumored for months now. Back in 2025, dataminers and leakers claimed that Epic Games was working on a new gameplay mode called PIMLICO with Warner Bros. Well, the new mode has finally been revealed, and it’s actually tied to Fall Guys and basketball. Yeah, you read that right!

Fortnite Fall Guys Crown Jam is a 3v3 Limited-Time Mode that has players competing as Beans in a game of Basketball. “Get ready to tackle, YEET, and score! The Beans are slam-dunking into Fall Guys Crown Jam, a new 3v3 limited-time mode (LTM) in Fortnite, where basketball meets football meets obstacle course chaos!”
The Fortnite Fall Guys Crown Jam mode release date is Friday January 23, 2026 and runs until Monday, February 9. At the time of writing it’s unclear whether the Fall Guys basketball experience will be permanently removed after the end date, or whether it will return periodically similar to how Fortnite Delulu did.
