So, check out the Fortnite Map Squid Ground release date, read through the official rules, and take a look at the Squid Game cosmetics.

Fortnite Squid Ground Release Date

Fortnite's Squid Ground map is part of the new crossover with Squid Game, which launches on June 27, 2025. Built inside the Reload mode, this special map brings mini-games and visual elements directly inspired by the Netflix series.

The map is tailored for Fortnite’s competitive gameplay, adding a unique twist to the Reload experience. It’s more than a thematic addition — it also serves as the battleground for the Squid Grounds Cup. That’s right: Epic is launching a full-scale tournament on this map, offering real cash prizes for players ready to jump into the chaos.

Squid Ground Cup: Official Rules Breakdown

The Squid Grounds Cup isn’t just another LTM — it’s an official, developer-backed competition. It kicks off on June 25 and centers on the Slurp Rush map in Reload mode. The format is Duos, and the objective is to rack up points by staying alive and outperforming other teams in fast-paced matches. Full rules can be found in the official rules, posted by Epic Games. Here’s a breakdown of the essentials:

• Reload Duos mode, 2 players per team, fight to survive and score
