There is a PC patch from Epic regarding competitive playlists in the Fortnite update 3.12, which are included below. Epic Games are yet to state if these updates are for console players as well.

According to Epic Games:

"We're investigating two separate issues with competitive playlists. 1. Players cannot see Arena playlists in the playlist select menu. 2. When queuing into competitive playlists (Arena or tournaments), the queue will cancel automatically. Players experiencing the first issue can queue into another game mode and leave the match to have Arena playlists available again. We'll update you when we have more information. We've released a maintenance patch on PC to address these two issues. Available to download upon opening or relaunching the game. We'll provide an update as these issues are addressed on all remaining platforms. Players on Performance Mode may still not see Arena displayed in the playlist select menu. The workaround provided above still works to resolve this in the meantime."

The next patch after Fortnite update 3.12 is set to come on Thursday, and it is strange that Epic Games didn't release both of them together. It could be that they needed these fixes quickly, or that they didn't think it would matter if they came at different times. Either way, players should be excited about the fixes upcoming in Fortnite update 3.12.
