Fortnite Battle Royale Seems To Give Less XP Now

The news article discusses a recent change made by Epic Games to Fortnite's Battle Royale and Zero Build modes, where passive XP gains have been removed. Previously, players were earning 550 XP per minute, or nearly half a battle pass level per hour, just by existing in the game. However, this passive XP gain has now been eliminated. The article suggests two potential reasons for this change. Firstly, it may be related to Fortnite's ongoing "Summer Road Trip" event, which requires players to gain XP to complete daily quests and unlock a free Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 car body. Secondly, the change may be an attempt to make it more challenging for players who are just starting the current battle pass to catch up before the season ends on August 7. The article also mentions that the end of Chapter 6 Season 4 will coincide with the end of the current seasons for Fortnite OG and Lego Fortnite, making it a significant event for the game.
