Everything to know about Fortnite
Fortnite is an online video game played by up to 250 million people across the world.
In it, 100 players compete on their own or with a small group of pals to grab weapons, gather resources and build defenses, before fighting it out to be the last man (or team) standing.
Matches take about 20 minutes, and you can drop into a new game within seconds of your previous one finishing.
It’s bright, it’s cartoony and it’s fiendishly compelling.
Skill is rewarded but luck also plays a huge role, meaning no two games are ever the same and everyone feels like they have a chance of winning.
Fortnite update lands
Fortnite has confirmed that downtime has officially started.
Players can begin the OG update.
Gamers starting to experience issues with Fortnite
Fortnite gamers are already starting to experience issues with the servers this morning.
This could be the early signs of down time ahead of the update.
What will be included in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5’s Battle Pass?
We don’t know everything about the Battle Pass yet, but we do know that some costumes will be making a comeback.
Remixed versions of the Ragnarok, Lynx and Black Knight were teased for the Battle Pass.
The Black Knight outfit is particularly exciting, as accounts with the original skin can sell for around $250 to $400 (around £200 to £350).
When does Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5 start?
Chapter 4 Season 5 will start on Friday, November 3, 2023, and will end on Sunday, December 3, 2023.
Before the season starts there will be a few hours of downtime so that Epic Games can update the servers.
We expect the downtime to start now, as this is when it usually begins for new seasons.
The downtime can vary depending on how big the update is, however, it will usually end around 12pm – 1pm UK time, though can take a little longer.
