The new Fortnite update isn’t as exciting as the one that came before. Update 2.48 implemented new features like splitscreen mode on consoles, the ability to preview what’s in the Item Shop from a mobile device, an increase to the daily Item Shop gifting limit from 3 to 5, and lots more.
The Fortnite 2.49 update isn’t the only exciting thing that’s happened to the game this weekend, as the Fortnite x Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker event was also hosted. Those attending the in-game event got to see an exclusive clip, as well as the opportunity to be the first to wield in-game lightsabers. (These lightsabers can now be found in-game.)
