The Fortnite 2.69 update patch notes (12.50) are here, with the new patch now rolling out across PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android platforms today, April 29. As you might expect by now, the new Fortnite update needs a maintenance period, which is scheduled to start at 2 AM ET (6 AM UTC), with players normally having to wait around 1-2 hours during scheduled downtime. Once those servers are back up, you’ll be able to dive into the game to check out the new changes.
