Soon, Fortnite servers will be down for scheduled maintenance.
It’s expected to take at least an hour for the new update to be deployed, in which time Epic Games will share patch notes.
These will include all the details of what is being changed on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Mobile.
Epic Games has confirmed that downtime will begin at 9am this morning, with server status set to be offline.
During this time, there will be no online games available to join, with the downtime also affecting Fortnite Save the World.
When servers do go back online, players will be required to download a new patch before returning to live games.
Fortnite Update 6.10 is being deployed today and will include new Season 6 content from Epic Games.
The development team have already revealed that they are deploying a brand new vehicle today.
The official description suggests that the vehicle will have a boost function for extra speed.
“Charge the boost to crash through structures or get some air!” reads an Epic post.
There are also rumours that the Fortnite Gifting system is going to be released today, although nothing has been confirmed by Epic Games on the matter.
The new patch will also include bugfixes for both Fortnite Battle Royale and Save the World modes.
The PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and iOS update will make one or two fixes that were absent from last week’s content patch.
This includes a fix for a problem in which an unrendered Starter Island appears during the loading screen.
Epic explains more on Trello: “While loading in, players may notice an unrendered version of the Starter Island appear for a short time, then be replaced with the loading screen again until the map fully renders.”
Fortunately for fans, the issue will be fixed in the next release.
When scheduled maintenance has been completed today, Epic Games will notify fans on Twitter.
There will also be an announcement when the latest patch notes have been released on the official Epic Games website.
“Get revved up! Patch v6.10 rolls out tomorrow, Tuesday, October 16,” a message from Epic Games reads.
“Patch Notes will be available once downtime begins at 4 AM ET (0800 GMT).”
Fortnite Battle Royale is a free-to-play game developed by Epic Games and available to download on all major platforms.
