Fortnite Galaxy Cup: Participation Rules, Rewards, Eligibility, and other details

Earlier this month, news broke out on Twitter about an Invite-only Fortnite Solo tournament that was going to be held for Galaxy users.

The Fortnite community was quick to connect the dots, which led to most believing that the 'Galaxy Girl' skin which leaked a couple of days ago is probably somehow linked with the upcoming tournament.

Recently, Epic Games officially announced the Android exclusive “Galaxy Cup” tournament that gives Fortnite players an opportunity to obtain the new ‘Galaxy Scout’ outfit.
