Fortnite update 24.40 is being rolled out this morning, with a Ranked mode finally set to be introduced after a short delay.
The next major update for Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 is here, with Fortnite update 24.40 is being released today after being delayed by 24 hours. Update 24.40 will be released at around 8am BST / 3am EDT / 12am PDT today across all platforms, but matchmaking and servers typically go offline around 30 minutes before this, so realistically you won't be jump into a new game from around 7.30am BST / 2.30am EDT / 11.30am PDT.
Server and matchmaking downtime typically lasts for around four hours when there's a big update like this one, so you should be able to hop back in at 12pm BST / 7am EDT / 4am PDT. And when you do jump in, Fortnite Arena mode will be gone forever, replaced with the highly-anticipated Fortnite Ranked mode, with Epic Games introducing an ultra-competitive mode for the first time in the title's history.
