How often does Fortnite update?

Fortnite is considered to be an active development as Epic Games makes sure to update the game regularly with new content and bug fixes.

These updates are called patches.

Epic Games release these patches every Tuesday at 4am Eastern Time in America.

That would see the UK being five hours ahead, so they should be released at 9am BST.

How big are Fortnite updates?

The updates for Fortnite always vary in size.

Sometimes the servers issue big updates which help enhance graphics, especially for PCs.

On the other hand, sometimes they release smaller updates which are either more advanced or maybe they haven’t had as much patches to release as the time before.

The Fortnite updates sizes vary from 2GB to 5GB.

How long will Fortnite take to update?

During these updates, Fortnite goes through a downtime in which the videogame cannot be used.

Hence why the early morning updates, because it should be less likely that gamers use the game at this time, as it is thought for them to be asleep.

RECOMMENDED STORIES

Normally and update takes from two to four hours.

They might take a bit more sometimes, especially for an end-of-season event.
