Private Lobby Feature Details

This feature allows the host to create a customizable private lobby that can hold up to 300 players. The host can adjust the lobby settings, including join permissions and custom rules for matches in the private lobby.

Requirements

Private lobbies can be created by using a Private Lobby Creation Card. Private Lobby Creation Cards can be obtained by purchasing the Premium Pass. Private Lobby Creation Cards are not required to join a private lobby. Private Lobby Creation Cards are only valid during their respective Battle Pass seasons. For example, when you purchase the Season 9 Premium Pass, you'll receive a Private Lobby Creation Card (Season 9), which will remain valid until the end of Battle Pass Season 9.

User Permissions

Three roles can be assigned to private lobby users: host, admin, and VIP guest.

Host

The player who created the lobby will automatically be assigned the host role. The host can edit custom rules, open private lobby tournaments, set player permissions, and more. The host role cannot be transferred to another user.

Admin
