Today, February 1st, the servers in Fortnite will go down across all platforms (PC/Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). The downtime will be used to deploy the new update 19.20. We will summarize all changes here from MeinMMO.
What’s happening today in Fortnite? Epic Games is again shutting down the servers to deploy a new patch. This will bring some new content, including skins and other surprises to keep players engaged.
To ensure you don’t miss out, we from MeinMMO will update the article for you so you are always up to date.
Important times for the Fortnite server downtimes – when and for how long?
Downtime in the morning: The servers will be shut down at 10:00 AM our time to roll out update 19.20. Matchmaking will be disabled 30 minutes beforehand, so you won’t be able to search for games after 9:30 AM.
When can you play again? The servers will be offline for a while and playing will not be possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This is what updates from recent weeks have shown.
Of course, such work can always lead to technical problems and delays. If there are complications, we will report on them.
When will the patch notes be released? Normally, Epic Games releases little to no information about the update changes in Battle Royale mode. These are often found by the community itself.
However, if there are significant changes, we will also update this article for you.
What new content does update 19.20 bring?
What’s new for the Battle Royale mode? There are no concrete statements from the developers yet, but leaks and data miners have often proven to be reliable sources in the past. With these changes, you might expect:
Haven finally unlockable
A countdown is running in Fortnite for two exclusive skins in the Battle Pass. Haven is now unlockable, but The Rock will have to wait until February 3rd. We have created a guide for you about Haven’s masks, which you can find here:
If you want to check out all the new cosmetic items, we will embed a video for you.
New items for the item shop
New skins are also coming to Fortnite this time. However, only one has been released so far. It is a living queen from a playing card.
There are certainly some more skins that are currently still encrypted.
Heavy shotgun is back
As Hypex tweeted, the shotgun will once again be findable in Fortnite from all sources. So if you don’t like the new shotguns, you might have this as an alternative.
New POI – Covert Canyon
Shiina, a well-known leaker, published gameplay footage of a new POI that will be accessible with today’s update. To gain access, you will need a keycard that is tied to a boss.
