Jarvis made a video about what aimbotting looks like in Fortnite, but the content idea backfired when Epic Games permanently banned him. Or, at least it was permanent until June 6, 2025.
The YouTuber essentially caught himself in 4K, filmed footage of his ban-worthy offense, and willingly posted it without expecting to get banned at the time. Despite him pulling the video down and apologizing, Epic didn’t let up, and neither did Twitch until he was booted off the platform for four years.

Jarvis didn’t let this ban stop him from becoming one of the biggest gaming YouTubers, with over five million subscribers at this point. And now, after years of good behavior, the decision has been reversed.
Epic Games has granted his request to be unbanned from Fortnite, and he’ll be able to stream the game again.
Jarvis finally returns to Fortnite after “permanent” ban
Jarvis’ ban was controversial at the time, with many believing it wasn’t his intention to advertise cheats or glorify their use, with him simply showing what they looked like.

However, Epic took a hard stance against his video and cheats in general, making an example out of him at the time and showed that there was no tolerance for cheaters.
Jarvis put together an entire video, complete with an acted-out courtroom skit, to announce the end of his ban.
He had testimony from Fortnite streamers and other big figures in the community backing up that he should be unbanned, building to the announcement that, yes, he’s finally allowed to play Fortnite again.

He plans to start streaming again on June 13 and walk into a whole new Fortnite. Since the last time he played, zero-build didn’t even exist. Neither did UEFN or LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and several other features that have been added to the game over the years. He’s got a whole new world to discover.
