Today, on Wednesday, August 5, the Fortnite servers are going down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOS, Android). During this time, the new update 13.40 will be deployed. What’s in the new patch?
What’s happening today in Fortnite? The update 13.40 will be deployed today on all platforms. Fortnite Status announced the patch on Twitter.
Update 12:45 PM: The update 13.40 is now here. We’ll show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.
It seems to be a larger update that could finally bring the highlight of Season 3.
Before players can embark on an exploration tour, as usual, the servers will be shut down.
Fortnite servers are being shut down – when and how long?
Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime for update 13.40 starts at 10:00 AM German time. At 9:30 AM, you can join a new round for the last time; after that, the servers will be shut down and Fortnite will be down for a short time.
How long will the maintenance work take? Based on experiences from the last weeks and months, the work should be completed around noon.
However, technical problems or other delays can extend the maintenance work. If this is the case, you will learn about it here on MeinMMO from us.
When will the patch notes come out? Based on the experience of updates in the new chapter of Fortnite, there will probably be no patch notes published for the Battle Royale mode again.
If this happens again today, we will gather the biggest changes for you and release them in the form of German patch notes.
What new content does update 13.40 bring?
What’s new in the Battle Royale mode? The update 13.40 should finally bring the long-awaited cars that you can actually drive. Epic showed teasers about it yesterday. So today, the highlight of Season 3 should finally become available to players.
Players can additionally expect a few bug fixes, as there are already some bugs listed on the Fortnite Trello that are supposed to be fixed.
What does the update bring for the “Save the World” mode? The last update in Fortnite started the first new seasonal season in Save the World and brought some content.
However, it is still unclear whether there will be new content with update 13.40 again. Since RDW is now out of Early Access, Epic announced that there will not be as many updates for the PvE mode as before.
