Fortnite is probably the best battle royale game worldwide with a massive fanbase, and Epic Games put into serious efforts to maintain this fanbase. As a result, Fortnite gets new content, outfits, and events frequently; Chapter 4 is no exception. If you remember, it’s not even a month since Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 was released, and players already have the Winterfest and My Hero Academia events in the game.
Also, Epic Games frequently bring new updates to fix the bugs, add some content, buff/nerf weapons, etc., so, after the recent Fortnite Update, players have been curious to know about the next update time as several bugs need to be fixed. As a popular battle royale, this game often shows bugs and lag issues that bother the players, but Epic Games never ignores these issues and bring updates to fix them.
However, Chapter 4 was released only a few weeks back. Epic Games has already launched the patch update a few days back- v.23.10 to launch the Winterfest and fixed some other issues like now it takes less time to claim a PoI, fixed E-Caliber Rifles Hip-fire Accuracy, and damage, increased the cooldown time of Shockwave Hammer, etc.
However, it’s already Christmas time, and the New Year is only a few steps away. So, according to a Fortnite Leaker, ‘@ShiinaBR,’ the next update will come around 3 to 10th January. According to the Tweet, the reason behind this is that Epic Games employees are going on vacation in the meantime and will be back to work on 2nd January 2023.
This Tweet got lots of retweets, and players expressed their dissatisfaction. Since Chapter 4 Season 1 was released, players have been unhappy with several issues and some of them concerning the unjustified bans and too-powerful ARs. Recently, after players’ demands, Epic Games withdrew the Deku Smash, but players are still not happy with the other issues.
Since the Tweet came, players have been assuming that the next Fortnite Patch will come around 10th January, and there’s a mixed reaction. Some are excited and assuming what things Fortnite will fix this time or what new things may come. Some players think it will probably come on the 7th January, as generally, updates come on Saturday. In contrast, the other part is unhappy because until then, they have to play the game with bugs and lag issues which are troublesome.
However, there’s nothing Epic Games have said about the next update- the release time or the issues they will fix. So, we can’t guarantee whether the Update will come between the 3rd to 10th January or after that. However, because there are too many issues to be fixed in the game, from freezing screen to low FPS on Xbox, we hope Epic Games will bring the next update faster and fix all these issues.
