Did Peterbot Get Banned from Fortnite?
No, Peterbot has not been banned from Fortnite, at least, not as of mid-August 2025. Despite a messy swirl of controversy in the last week, including a viral old video resurfacing and lots of rumors about bans, there’s been no official word from Epic Games or major tournament organizers about a ban. FearBuck (@FearedBuck) on Twitter, noted that Fortnite pro Peterbot is going viral after old footage allegedly surfaced showing him using slurs.
Just a lot of Twitter drama, wild speculation, and those meme-laden debates you can only get from the Fortnite scene. For a while, my Discord feed genuinely felt like an emergency newsroom—everyone saying “He’s done!” or “He’s banned!” But nope, not yet.
What Really Happened to Peterbot?
A video from about two years ago resurfaced, showing Peterbot using racial slurs at what looked like a small, casual gathering. The Fortnite community exploded, shocked, disappointed, some angry, others just joking. In the middle of it all, Peterbot posted an apology online. Peterbot (@PeterbotFN) on Twitter addressed a resurfaced video in which he was seen using a racial slur while at the “agent house.” In a post on X, he explained that the incident occurred when he was 16 years old and admitted he was influenced by others at the time.
That, instead of calming things, only fanned the flames. Why? Because a lot of folks thought the apology was AI-generated (ouch). There's still debate if it was some people are meme-ing, others are genuinely angry, and plenty are just tired of the whole drama cycle.
-
Competitive status: As of right now, Peterbot is still signed with Team Falcons, still holds all his championship titles, and there’s no Epic Games announcement about a suspension or competitive ban.
-
Community reaction: Mix of outrage, memes, and that strange relief from other pros who feel they might have a better shot at tournaments if he did get booted.
Is Peterbot Still Now in Fortnite?
Yes, Peterbot is still active and playing Fortnite right now. Recent competitive coverage and standings show he’s on Team Falcons and turning in top-level performances. He just won a big prize with AussieAntics at the FNCS Pro-Am 2025 back in May, and he’s qualified for the upcoming Global Championship. Peterbot (@PeterbotFN) shared a lighthearted post on Twitter, writing “oxr for globals” while tagging fellow players @RitualFPS, @coldfv, and @RazZzero0oFN, keeping the gaming banter going within the Fortnite community.
No game-wide ban. No scrubbing from leaderboards. No mysterious vanishing act. Just a lot of buzz and the kind of stress only esports Twitter can bring. So, unless something big drops from Epic in the coming days, Peterbot’s still in the game with all the heat, noise, and cracked aim you’d expect. The internet tried to cancel him, but Fortnite’s “ban” button? Not pressed at least, not today.
