Fortnite to Add New 'Glider Releasing' Feature, Allowing Players to Land Faster

A new feature, 'Glider Releasing', is coming to Fortnite, according to a recent leak.

This addition will let players cut their gliders early and reach the ground faster than before.

The feature, which many fans have wanted for years, will give players a new tactical option during the landing phase of matches. However, players will need to be careful not to crash and take fall damage when using this new ability.

According to popular Fortnite leaker Wenso, who shared the information on social media, the 'Glider Releasing' feature will fundamentally change how players begin each match.

For those unfamiliar with Fortnite's mechanics, currently players must remain in their glider until they automatically land, which often feels painfully slow. This forced gliding period has been a staple of the game since its launch.

The new feature will create opportunities for players to land much more quickly than before.
