Fortnite Winterfest 2023 Cabin possibly canceled, leaks show

With winter here, Fortnite players are eagerly awaiting the return of the annual Winterfest event for 2023. A staple of the event, the Winterfest Cabin has been on everyone's mind for the return of the holiday-themed event. However, to the surprise of many players, it will not be returning to the game this year.

Instead of the Winterfest Cabin, leaks suggest that the free daily gifts that are made available to players every year will return to the game in a new, revamped system, along with several Winterfest quests to engage players during the festive event.
