Fortnite: When Is The Next Update?

Ever since the launch of Fortnite, Epic has kept its audience busy with a constant stream of updates, more so than any other studio out there. You’re never too far from the next Fortnite update, bringing with it some kind of new item and a raft of new skins.

Fortnite updates really are mini-events within the seasons themselves, as Epic attempts to keep its players happy over the course of several months with similarly themed content. It’s not easy to churn out so much stuff so often, hence why they now mostly release major updates every two weeks with a hotfix in-between to release items that are already in the game.

If you’re wondering when the next Fortnite update is set to drop, read on.

 

Next Fortnite Update Day and Time

The next update for Fortnite is currently unclear, as Epic most recently released v25.30, a fairly significant update that introduced Jujutsu Kaisen to the game. While they could release an update after this still within Chapter 4 – Season 3, we will instead likely see a smaller content update for the w/c August 14th ahead of the launch of Season 4 later in the month, which will be a fully numbered update.

The update will likely be released at 8 AM BST / 3 AM ET. The game will stay in downtime until Epic’s checks are complete.

You do not need to pay anything to access the new content, as all Fortnite updates are entirely free. However, you will not be able to play Fortnite if you do not update as it’s an entirely online game.

Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
