Fortnite OG mode is back and here to stay thanks to a new update, but is Duos included in its return? Here’s what players should know.
Epic Games reintroduced Fortnite’s OG mode on December 6, complete with its own Season 1 Battle Pass offerings and loot pool. The mode most notably lets users “relive OG seasons” across map updates that were previously present from the period between 2017 and 2019.
Unlike Season OG during Chapter 4, this classic version of the multiplayer game will stick around long term.
However, some players may find that the mode feels somewhat lacking at launch, due in no small part to the absence of certain gameplay options.
Is there a Duos option in OG Fortnite?
Yes, Fortnite OG now includes a Duos option, which was added on December 7. This update allows players to team up in Duos alongside the existing Solo and Squad modes that were available at launch.
Will Fortnite OG add Trios in the future?
Trios is still unavailable to players in Fortnite OG. As noted by HYPEX, earlier blog posts about OG did make mention of both Duos and Trios. Epic Games unceremoniously removed each mention later, with blog and social media posts in the lead-up to release only highlighting Solos and Squads.

The Trios game mode originally didn’t hit the Battle Royale until a couple of years later in Chapter 2 Season 5, so it’s possible developers are just biding their time.
Plus, reputable Fortnite leaker JorgeMost has claimed the following, “Trios modes will be coming to Fortnite OG later…”
But not even the leaker knows when Epic Games plans on rolling out support for these much-coveted options.
Regardless, players have plenty to look forward to throughout Fortnite OG’s Season 1 run. A Ranked mode will hit the experience sometime soon, for example.
If Trios does finally enter the mix, we’ll be sure to update this post.
