Get ready, Fortnite fans! Epic Games is gearing up for its annual Summer update dropping on June 25. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming next in your favorite game.

Regular Update Schedule

Fortnite typically updates every two weeks, with downtime starting around 2 AM ET on Tuesdays. Updates can last a few hours, depending on their size, before players can jump back in between 6 AM and 9 AM.

Patch v30.10 Highlights

The latest update, patch v30.10, kicked off the season with Metallica joining Fortnite. It introduced themed items, quests, and a live concert scheduled for June 22 or 23. Due to the Thursday launch, Week 3 Quests and Raiding the Rig Story Quests were delayed.

Upcoming Summer Event: Patch v30.20

Looking ahead, patch v30.20 will arrive two weeks after v30.10, bringing the highly-anticipated Summer event. This annual event features themed quests and free cosmetic rewards. According to Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR, downtime for the Summer update is set for Tuesday, June 25.

Why the Summer Update Matters

The Summer update is a big deal because it usually brings a surge of new content before Epic Games takes a break. The next patch isn’t expected until July 23, making this event crucial for enjoying new additions throughout the month.

What to Do Before the Update

Before the Summer update, players can dive into Metallica Quests, explore Rocket Racing with Metallica content, unlock free Adidas decals, or enjoy new modes like Expert and Casual in LEGO Fortnite. There’s plenty to keep everyone busy until the Summer update arrives later this month!
