Why Fortnite Removed Trios

Epic temporarily removed Trios in May 2023. However, non-ranked Battle Royale and Zero Build Trios modes were enabled at the end of May 2023 due to player feedback and complaints. In June 2023, Epic released a statement explaining that Trios was removed in the Season Zero update to help with queue times and matchmaking quality across the game, despite the fact that the playlist was removed with the ranked play update.
