There are rumors swirling that suggest Fortnite might be getting a six-person squads mode that will allow more people to play on the same team together. You'd think that would be a popular addition to Fortnite's BR options, but initial reactions to the new mode's rumored debut have been largely negative.
Notable Fortnite leaker Shiina shared the news that Fortnite appears to be working on a six-person squads mode. Since Fortnite's inception, players have had the option to drop in to its battle royale mode alone, with a fellow player, or as part of a four-person squad, along with a trios option that was added as a limited-time mode at a later date but stuck around due to its popularity.
Not exactly a Super reception...
Epic Games likely assumed that the more squad size options, the better, hence it seemingly working on a six-person squads mode. However, the reactions to Shiina's tweet are filled with concerns rather than anticipation. The leading fear among players seems to be that the addition of yet another core mode will further split the player base, taking regular players away from existing modes to try out what the BR experience is...
