Fortnite added a new feature in the v31.30 update that was released on October 1st, 2024 and it is the much needed sleep mode. By default, the player’s profile will go into this mode after 15 minutes of inactivity and this will happen if no mouse, keyboard, or controller input is used.

There are a number of reasons why players might go AFK in games — real-life issues, boredom, or simply taking a break. If you find a game during this break and other players realize you’re not online, it can lead to problems. Sleep Mode solves this, and if you want to customize this feature, here are the steps you need to follow.
You have the options of 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes or you can also choose NEVER. If you choose the latter, you have more freedom to decide when you want your game to go into this mode.
If the countdown to sleep mode is in progress and you just got back from your break, simply press any button to pause the 30 second countdown and you’ll return to Fortnite.
