How Long Does The New Fortnite Update Take?

The new Fortnite update usually takes around two to four hours of downtime before the game is back online. For instance, the recent update, version 31.20, had a shorter downtime of about two hours. 

During this time, the servers are offline to install the update and ensure everything works correctly. If the update downtime is shorter, like with version 31.20, the game might be accessible sooner than expected. 

How Many GB is The New Fortnite Update?

The new Fortnite update is 6.73 GB on PS5, 8 GB on Xbox, 6 GB on PC, and 7 GB on Nintendo Switch. The update, which is part of the "Absolute Doom" season, is smaller compared to some previous updates. Although Epic Games hasn’t officially announced the new features yet, players have noticed some changes. 

The update came after a brief downtime of about 1 hour and 47 minutes, which was shorter than initially expected. Players on Xbox might see larger file sizes due to a bug, but restarting the console should fix this. This update brings new superpowered weapons and outfits, including some superhero variants and a temporary Doom outfit, enhancing the gaming experience.
