Here’s what you need to know about the Fortnite update 5.10 release date and its expected patch notes.
Fortnite Update 5.10 Release Date and Time
Despite previous updates being released on Thursdays, the Fortnite Update 5.10 release date is now confirmed to be July 24. This does indeed break the tradition of updates being released on Thursdays, but it seems to be for a good reason, as it takes place on the game’s first birthday.
As for the Fortnite Update 5.10 release time, the patch will be implemented at 4 a.m. ET. Downtime will occur, meaning players won’t be able to log in to the game until maintenance is complete. Expect patch notes to become available at 4 a.m. ET, giving players something to read while the servers are down. Based on previous periods of downtime, we expect the game to be unplayable for around an hour, though it could be longer or shorter.
Expected Fortnite Update 5.10 Patch Notes
It’s expected that the Fortnite Update 5.10 patch notes will detail the new compact SMG and the new Fortnite Founders skins. Both of these features have been announced as “coming soon” to the game, which can usually be translated to “in the next update.”
