Fortnite's is scheduled to go down on Tuesday, July 15 at 1 a.m. PDT, 4 a.m. EDT, and 9 a.m. BST. According to a recent X post from @FortniteStatus, this timeframe corresponds with the outages of updates 36.10 and 35.10. Updates usually last for two to three hours on average lately.

The most recent Fortnite update is almost ready to be released, and there will likely be a ton of unannounced stuff. Fortnite has been experiencing an influx of new content.

The dedicated Fortnite developers have been enjoying some much-needed relaxation since June thanks to Epic Games' summer break, and the typical player was probably unaware of it. Fans were more than happy when Blitz Royale mode and Squid Grounds Reload took over, but there is still a lot more to come.

In addition to a number of much-needed bug patches to keep the game functioning properly, the upcoming Fortnite update is expected to add new content.
