Fortnite update 2.90 will be available to download for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Here are the details on this update including patch notes.
Epic Games has confirmed that downtime for servers will start ahead of the update launching today. It will begin at approx. 04:00 AM ET (08:00 UTC).
This new patch is roughly 27 GB on PC, however, this large file size is due to a new optimization method that will make the file size smaller on PC, and as a result, any future updates will be smaller as well.
