Fortnite will be seeing downtime today ahead of the Chapter 4 Season 4 update. Here's everything we know so far.

With a much-needed full update coming today, we will finally be saying goodbye to Chapter 4 Season 3 of Fortnite. The new Chapter 4 Season 4 update, entitled update 26.00, won't have a live event which is no surprise considering it seems like Epic Games has left live events by the wayside.

After some pretty significant collabs this season, including a WWE crossover and as well as a Jujutsu Kaisen collab, Fortnite has been on a bit of a roll in terms of new skins and cosmetics. However, even after unvaulting a couple of exotic items, the gameplay still just wasn't doing it for me – and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So hopefully, the arrival of Chapter 4 Season 4 will change things for the better.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 downtime

Fortnite downtime is set for 8am BST / 3am EDT / 12am PDT today as confirmed by the official Twitter account. Matchmaking is typically disabled around 30 minutes beforehand so you can expect to get kicked out of a game half an hour prior.

Fortnite downtime lasts around four hours, however as this is the Chapter 4 Season 4 update, we can expect the game to be offline for even longer than this. The Fortnite Status account also stated that patch sizes may be larger than normal with this release.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 early patch notes

When looking at the Fortnite Trello board, we know that the following changes will be coming. However, as this is the Chapter 4 Season 4 update it's likely that the full patch notes will be pretty extensive. All of the following bugs have been fixed:

  • In Team Rumble, markers to indicate teammates show slightly behind the players location.

  • After being in a match some PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players may find they have lost most game audio and voice chat has become distorted.

  • If a friend comes online or goes offline while players are scrolling down their friend list on the sidebar, they may be automatically brought back to the top of the menu.

  • The face texture for the Indiana Jones Outfit appears different from his body when equipping the 'Indiana Jones' style on some Android devices.

  • The Cozy Chomps Outfit's second style "No Tail" still has a tail

  • Players may have delayed credit toward the "Damage Opponents" Ranked quest or may find that the full weapon damage is not credited toward a Ranked quest.

  • We’re aware of an issue that may prevent TRO from applying correctly.

  • When using the pickaxe, weak spots are not showing up on some devices

  • When players on Android attempt to resize the Fire button larger than 100% the change does not stay and the fire button will remain small.

We're hoping that the Chapter 4 Season 4 update will be pretty extensive and give the game a much-needed refresh.
