Fortnite fans are counting down to the release of update 30.30 in Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival. According to Epic Games, the new update has a July 23 release date on PS5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Android. The good news is that the new update will finally add new content after weeks without any significant changes. The bad news, however, is that Fortnite update 30.30 will be accompanied by a period of server downtime, which kicks off at 9am BST UK time. This means you won’t be able to play any of the Fortnite game modes until around midday.
The news was announced by Epic Games on X: “Downtime for v30.30 begins at 4 AM ET with matchmaking ending shortly beforehand.”
While Epic Games didn’t give fans much of a hint about what to expect from the new update, we do know a few things that are coming as part of the new update.
Indeed, as you can see from the trailer below, Tesla’s unique Cybertruck will join the game after the new update.
Likewise, Fortnite has announced plans to partner with Adidas for a new range of in-game clothing available in the item shop.
Elsewhere, Epic Games is planning a crossover with Fall Guys, while Rocket Racing will enter a new season.
Fortnite Crew subscribers can also expect to find out what rewards will be available in the August Crew Pack, and there’s a strong chance we’ll see an old weapon make a return, potentially in the form of the minigun.
Needless to say, Epic Games will also make a number of gameplay tweaks and bug fixes, which you can see in the update 30.30 patch notes below.
