Fortnite fix for missing Star Wars achievements ‘being worked on’

Epic Games is working on a fix for a bug which has resulted in Fortnite achievements obtained during the recent Star Wars crossover event disappearing.

After the event ended earlier this week, multiple Reddit users reported that Star Wars achievements were no longer showing up in their Fortnite Legacy tab.

“We’re aware of an issue involving players’ Star Wars Legacy entries having disappeared,” Epic tweeted. “We are working on a fix.”

A listing for the issue on the Fortnite Community Issues Trello board suggests the problem will be fixed with the release of the next game update.

Fortnite generated more revenue than any other digital game in 2019, according to research from Nielsen’s SuperData.

Epic’s game generated $1.8 billion in 2019 to claim the top spot for the second year running, ahead of Dungeon Fighter Online ($1.6b), Honour of Kings ($1.6b), League of Legends ($1.5b), Candy Crush Saga ($1.5b) and Pokemon Go ($1.4b).

“The enduring popularity of Fortnite is partially attributable to crossover promotions with pop culture blockbusters like Avengers, Stranger Things and Star Wars,” SuperData said.

The Fortnite Star Wars crossover saw new Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker footage premiere via an in-game event ahead of the film’s December release.

An extended Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 1 will end in February 2020.
