The 14-second video shows various UI elements, including the home screen, item shop, career, and V-bucks tabs. Fans complained about a few essential tabs missing from the UI, including Quests, Battle pass, and Compete. According to many players, the new UI is overly simplistic and unsatisfying. Furthermore, many complain about the color scheme being off.

The UI is receiving harsh criticism from fans, and many wish that the developers end up not going forward with the revamp. While the leaks do suggest a new makeover for the UI, it’s possible that it might not make it to the game. Furthermore, the developers might polish the UI and improve its design before releasing the update to the public.

This isn’t the first time Fortnite has received backlash for its UI design; many users complain that the UI keeps getting worse for Fortnite. Many players prefer older UI layouts and wish Fortnite to revert to them instead of revamping UI designs. 

Fortnite is an Epic Games exclusive FPS title released in 2017. Moreover, the developers launched Fortnite Creative on March 22, 2023, allowing players to design custom maps.
