Fortnite May Soon Let Players Cut Their Glider Early, Speeding Up Landings

A new feature called Glider Releasing could allow Fortnite players to drop faster by cutting their glider early.

Fortnite fans might soon get a new way to land faster in the game. A recent claim from a Fortnite leaker suggests that Glider Releasing will be introduced, allowing players to cut their glider early and descend more quickly. This has been a long-requested addition, as the current system keeps players gliding until the last moment, which can feel slow and restrictive.

Until now, Fortnite has not allowed players to end their glide early, meaning everyone descends steadily until they reach the ground. This prevents fall damage and slows down the drop, sometimes making the start of matches feel drawn out. The Glider Releasing feature, as shared by the leaker Wenso on social media, would let players cancel their glider and fall faster, potentially changing how early-game strategies work.

Of course, this comes with a risk: players must be careful not to hit the ground too hard, as fall damage could become a real threat. One interesting idea shared by the community is that players might aim for water to soften their landing, allowing for a quick start without taking damage.

Here’s the tweet from Wenso that sparked the discussion:

Glider Releasing is coming to Fortnite!

This will give you the ability to let go of your glider early and land faster instead of gliding to the floor! But you'll also need to watch out for fall damage.

It’s easy to imagine how this feature could disrupt the early moments of a match, giving players more control over their drop and possibly opening up new tactics. However, it might also lead to unintended exploits, like rushing the ground at high speed or finding clever ways to avoid fall damage.
