The clock’s about to turn backward for Fortnite fans. As the v27.00 update looms on the horizon, it’s not just about new content or fixes, it’s a nostalgic trip to the Fortnite of 2018. For many, it’s a chance to relive the glory days, and for newcomers, an opportunity to experience a chapter from Fortnite’s rich history.
At the early hour of 3 AM EST, Fortnite’s servers will enter a brief hibernation. This is when Epic Games rolls up its sleeves, ensuring that the update implementation is smooth and glitch-free. Players should take note: matchmaking will be off the table for a brief period leading up to this.
As the update rolls in, players might notice a heftier file size than usual. This isn’t just any update; it’s a comprehensive rework to bring 2018’s Fortnite to today’s consoles and systems. Make sure there’s ample space to download and install. It’s going to be worth the wait.
