Fortnite is currently undergoing maintenance as it prepares for the highly anticipated update 36.20. Players can expect a fresh set of content and essential bug fixes to enhance their gaming experience. This downtime is part of Epic Games’ plans to bring exciting new developments to the game, following a well-deserved summer break for the developers.
Starting on Tuesday, July 15, at 1 am PDT / 4 am EDT / 9 am BST, the maintenance period is expected to last around two to three hours, similar to recent updates. The downtime has been confirmed via a tweet from @FortniteStatus, ensuring players are informed and ready for the changes ahead.
As part of the update, players can check out the early patch notes available on the Fortnite community Trello board, which lists various issues being addressed. Some of the known bugs include the incorrect appearance of the Nanite Buzzsaw Pickaxe to others and empty containers appearing in the “Hit the Road” mode, which will still yield rewards when interacted with.
Given the recent influx of updates, the brief list of issues being addressed is encouraging. Fans of Fortnite have enjoyed the introduction of new modes like Blitz Royale and community events such as the Squid Grounds Reload takeover during the summer. The upcoming update is anticipated to build upon this momentum, bringing players more to explore and enjoy in the game.
With the excitement surrounding this new update, players are looking forward to a revitalized Fortnite experience. The maintenance is a chance for Epic Games to fine-tune the gameplay, ensuring that players can enjoy smoother and more engaging matches once the downtime concludes. As always, the community is eager to see what new features and fixes will come from the developers’ hard work.
