Is Fortnite region locked?

No, Fortnite is generally not region-locked for regular gameplay, letting you pick your matchmaking region for best ping, but it was locked for competitive tournaments (except FNCS) until Epic removed that restriction in mid-2024, allowing most players to compete cross-region for cash cups and other events.
