Fortnite is set to go down for the first major update of the latest season today, update 25.10.
Update: Fortnite is back up and running and Epic Games has released Fortnite patch notes for update 25.10.
Original story: Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is set to get its first major update today, and it'll bring some new content and bug fixes as laid out in the early update 25.10 patch notes. Changes include a brand new Fortnite x Nike collab and according to leakers we might get some brand new Reality Augments in the update too.
This update will last for at the very least two weeks (based on previous update schedules), although ShiinaBR mentioned a possible update 25.11, which will very likely be far smaller than todays. You'll need to wait until at least Tuesday, July 4 before any big changes are made.
Fortnite update 25.10 downtime
Epic Games has confirmed on Twitter that the update will go live today at 8am BST / 3am EDT / 12am PDT. Matchmaking typically goes down 30 minutes prior to an update, so you'll need to finish up any games before then.
Downtime typically lasts around four hours so you'll be able to hop back in at 12pm BST / 7am EDT / 4am PDT, although with past updates Fortnite update 24.20 the servers were back up well in advance of the four hours, so feel free to double check during this time.
Fortnite update 25.10 early patch notes
Thanks to the Fortnite Trello board and leakers like ShiinaBR we know of the following changes coming in today's update:
When using high graphic settings players may find the glow effect from Hollowhead's eyes clip through his head
When emoting with Dark Power Chord equipped players will notice there are no facial expressions
We’re aware of a visual issue affecting the face of the the Craggy Champion outfit and have a fixed planned for a future update.
Players may find that the 'Intruments of Destruction' emote has some graphical stretching.
If you are eliminated and rebooted, your Ranked Urgent Quest description may disappear before completing the Quest.
- Leaked Cosmetics
Fortnite x Nike (Airphoria)
Summer Cosmetics (either this update or in v25.11)
Super Styles
Rank Reset
Shockwave Grenades (Zero Build)
July Crew Pack
Maybe new Augments
Today's update seems like it'll be a quieter one all things considered, but it's sure to keep players going until the next one, which should hopefully be more exciting. Plus for the sweats who have dominated the 100-tier Battle Pass already, the Super Styles for the Battle Pass skins will be in-game to work towards.
