The long-rumored collaboration has finally taken shape. Epic Games has officially announced the Fortnite Crown Jam LTM, a high-energy crossover that merges the chaotic physics of Fall Guys with a 3v3 basketball-inspired sports mode.
Available from January 23 to February 9, 2026, this mode marks a significant shift in how Fall Guys content is integrated into the Fortnite ecosystem, utilizing a heavily updated physics engine to allow for tackling, "yeeting," and slam-dunking.
The Six Crown Jam Clubs
When players drop into the Crown Jam arena, they are assigned to one of six specialized clubs. Each club features distinct bean-inspired designs that leaked across social media earlier this week:
Windy Wood Howlers: Nature-themed beans with earthy tones.
Plunderdome Pirates: Swashbuckling beans with pirate-inspired accessories.
Fallhalla Longboats: Viking-style beans ready for battle.
Fairycorn Stampede: Whimsical, unicorn-inspired bean designs.
Dunktown Dinos: Prehistoric-themed beans built for the court.
Bean City Birds: Feathered bean designs (recently teased by Stentric).
Free Rewards: How to Get the Blue Plushie
Epic is offering several "cross-game" rewards for participating in the LTM. The most anticipated is the Blue Plushie Bean Back Bling, which can be used in standard Battle Royale and Creative modes.
| Reward | Requirement | Game |
| Blue Plushie Bean | Complete 5 matches in the Crown Jam LTM | Fortnite |
| "Less Fallin' More Ballin'" | Reach specific milestones in Ranked Crown Jam | Fortnite (Jam Track) |
| Crown Ball Back Bling | Ranked Crown Jam progression | Fortnite |
| Slam Dunk Costume | Available for free in the shop during the event | Fall Guys |
Why the Short Stay?
Fans have noted that a 17-day window is surprisingly short for a mode that has been in development for over a year. While Epic hasn't given an official reason, industry insiders suggest this is part of a broader 2026 strategy to move Fall Guys content into consistent, rotating LTMs rather than permanent modes. This keeps the player base concentrated and prevents "queue fatigue," which has been a concern for the Fall Guys community since the "vaulting" controversies of previous years.
The clock is ticking! Make sure to jump in starting this Friday to secure your rewards before the Blunderdome arena closes its doors on February 9.
