The Jason Haunted Cup provides Fortnite players with a unique chance to get the legendary Jason Voorhees skin for free by participating in a temporary Duos Reload tournament. This one-day competitive tournament, which will occur on October 16, 2025, awards the top-ranked teams with advanced access to one of Fortnitemares 2025‘s most highly anticipated cosmetic packs. Whether you are a professional player or a weekend warrior in search of special prizes, this is your detailed guide to signing up and playing in the Jason Haunted Cup.
The Jason Haunted Cup is a competitive four-hour tournament in the Duos Reload format. This action-packed game mode is played on the 40-player Nitemare Island map, where losing teammates can automatically respawn as long as at least one squad member is still alive. The tournament permits a maximum of 10 matches per duo in the course of the session, with points given according to placement and eliminations.
The event occurs in all seven competitive Fortnite regions – North America East, North America Central, North America West, Europe, Brazil, Middle East, Asia, and Oceania, each with specific start times. You can look to the in-game Compete tab to find the exact tournament schedule for your region.
Fortnite Jason Haunted Cup Eligibility Requirements
Before signing up, you will need to meet a number of requirements that are obligatory to join the Jason Haunted Cup:
- Age Requirement: To play in Fortnite tournaments, players have to be at least 13 years old (or the majority age in your nation if older). Players between 13 and 17 years old need parental or legal guardian consent to play.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Two-Factor Authentication on your Epic Games account is required for all Fortnite competitive play.
- Account Level: Your Epic Games account should be level 50 or higher. This is your overall account level across all seasons, not your seasonal level. You can find your account level by opening the Career tab within the Fortnite lobby. Your account level will be shown in the bottom left.
- Duo Partner: Because this is a Duos tournament, you need to have a partner to play with. You will not be able to use the random fill option for tournaments, so arrange with a trusted partner before the tournament starts. If your partner drops out of the tournament halfway through, you can’t change to another teammate.
- Regional Lock: Your account needs to be locked into one region in order to participate. Select your region wisely, as you are not allowed to compete in more than one region in the same tournament.
