Map[]

Party Royale's map (codenamed Papaya) contains 3 named locations:
- The Main Stage, The Plaza, and The Big Screen. The Main Stage originally played an assortment of Epic-Original music whilst the screen displayed art from Loading Screens, however it was disabled in Update v22.40.
- The Plaza contains Vending Machines and Changing Booths that players can interact with inside of stores and buildings.
- The Big Screen was used for a few concerts, but otherwise remained mostly functionless.
Available Features[]
Note: Vehicles in Party Royale are still using the previous physics system before Fortnite's conversion to Chaos Physics. This can lead to glitchy movement.
